Although you can’t directly change your username, there is a workaround:

You can’t have two Fedora Account System accounts with the same email address. However, if changing your username is important to you, you can:

  1. Log off from Fedora Discussion.
  2. Log in to Fedora Accounts and set a new email address for your existing account.
  3. File a ticket with Fedora Infrastructure requesting that the old account (the one you’re using to file the request!) be deactivated, noting that you’re moving to a new name.
  4. Log off, and then create a new Fedora Account with your original email address.
  5. Log in here with that new Fedora Account.
  6. Discourse will magically notice that the emails match, and merge the two accounts here.
