Thanks luis14402 (Also this user can't access their profile because of the @)

  • Are there other potentially bad special characters we shouldn't allow in usernames?
  • Determine whether force-changing a username will break something for the user (in cookies, for example)

Force-changing a username doesn't seem to permanently break anything. The profile link is the right menu rendered as the username when the user logs in, so we should change that to a /me endpoint that gets the profile of the currently logged in user.
