At some point, Lichess will have to redesign its architecture to allow name changes (and reuse old ones). I'm a bit surprised there isn't an open github issue to do this.
Maybe you should DM thimbault ;) he has the power.
what is the meaning of loser abuser?

Absolutely any nickname can hurt. I also have negative feelings when I see some names, but this is not a reason to block them on the site.
All people are different. There will definitely be people who for some reason will not like your nickname. Someone broke up with a girl and cannot look at her name, someone got into an accident in a Mercedes, someone had a bad experience with a loser in life.
Someone will find the name of the film disgusting, despite the fact that he had an Oscar, because, in his opinion, the film corrupts young people and teaches bad things ... And this is not a joke, I saw a person in a chat insulting another person for being he had the name of the movie in his nickname. We cannot please everyone.
Almost any nickname can be interpreted in a negative way, if you want. People see what they want to see. Even now I see that people in this thread have different interpretations of my nickname. And so it will be with all nicknames. And that's okay. It's not normal to try to please everyone at once. I think the fact that for 3 years there was not a single complaint (and I played 30k games) says a lot about my nickname. This fact proves the loyalty of the players to my nickname.
And only two days ago I saw an angry comment about my nickname from a person who lost a game to me. (then came the ban, very strange coincidence)

First tell how do you think it is good username while conversing with the community.

Your name says Akbar! You remind me of Akbar! He made jahangir who made shah Jahan! I built taj Mahal! And shah Jahan cut my hand! I hate your username!
(Wispers) Oh wait, if I say this, they'll know I am a ghost..

I do find it problematic that it has taken lichess three years to say anything-- especially since you were only given 48 hours notice.
I would certainly appeal this decision, if possible.
If there is a problem with using the word "abuser" in your username, why allow the word "abuser" to appear in usernames in the first place?
Is "Loser_Abuser" really that bad? There are quite a few account names that are some sort of variation of phrases like "Noobdestroyer", for example, which seems roughly equivalent to me.

This is wise, educational and worth reading.

This is an ordinary nickname, with a rhyme in a nutshell, it did not have any offensive character, many users saw humor in it, but today they want to delete it.

this user name is fine. Moderation has been pretty bad lately. let me know when you have created a new account! :)
