Discord is changing decisions that have been around for the lifetime of the platform such as the username#abcd format (see https://discord.com/blog/usernames). One thing they might change is the fact that text channel names can't have spaces given that they already allow spaces in voice channels and category channels. Additionally, in the past there has been some desire from Discord users to have this changed as seen by the use of bugs (such as changing channel names with bots and using other types of spaces)

On the other hand, from Discord's perspective changing usernames solved several clear problems (as given in the blog post). Changing channel spaces would only unify the naming on different types of channels, but it probably wouldn't make Discord less confusing for people to use

- This market resolves yes if you can use spaces in text channel names any time from now until the end of 2024 by a method that is not a bug

- This market resolves no if this is not true

- This market resolves N/A if Discord no longer exists. A rename does not constitute nonexistence and the new name will be considered as "Discord"

- This market never resolves 50%

Any ambiguity will be resolved at my discretion. If you point out ambiguity in the comments, I'll try to clarify it and update my description

Notes for anyone who thinks the format on my market is a bit different from usual: I made this via the manifold.markets discord bot. It seems to have several limitations and I did need to reformat it via the website for it to be understandable.

I'm going to continue working on keeping high-quality formatting while making it easier for me to create markets, using the Discord bot seems not yet ready to do that unfortunately
