Add a config option that allows users to specify their own IDs. This has a few implications:

There is now a possibility that users could create an ID that would be generated by the app as well. Maybe not super likely, but this means that we need to keep track of user-set IDs and make sure our randomly-generated ones don't smush them.

Just have a separate store in redis for user-generated ids, and check them for each randomly-generated id? Is that too much overhead? Things to discuss.
