I originally went with the same name but have been using this one now since it’s new and the idea of starting fresh appeals to me.
My initial thought was to reuse my existing name so others who already knew me might see that I’m here since we never communicated outside of the given subs we were apart of. I’m not sure how likely that would actually be though. It’s not as if I was anyone popular or well known. So, my thinking is I’ll stick with my new one and move on.
What have you chosen to do? Start fresh or carry your username over?
I…uh, went with a classic.
I use this UN basically everywhere. Here is no different.
Replying to you. I’m brand new here and wondering how in the fuck do I leave a reply to the thread? The only reply button I see is for other comments not to the post.
You use the text box at the bottom of the page for replying to a thread.
The comment box is at the bottom of the stack of comments, so you have to scroll to almost the entire bottom of the page to start a parent comment.
Yes, but no. It’s inspired by my Reddit username, but I managed to get a much much shorter variant on Kbin, lol.
I took the opportunity to ditch the edgelord name I came up with when I was 14
New one, wanted this from the beginning but was already taken on Reddit 10+ years ago
Hey, aren’t you that guy Raymond? Think I’ll remember you lol
I think my name says it all
8^)
I’ve been Takeshidude since I was maybe 11 back on Lego.com
Feels wrong to have any other name
This was my preference there but wasn’t available. Now it’s MINE!
Been using this name since I had a Xbox 360. It almost feels more familiar than my real name.
I went new but it’s an old handle. I missed it.
I reused my Reddit username. I kind of identify with it. I love healthy curiosity and Lynx are my favourite wild animal.
Also, I suspect I copied some nonverbal communication clues from the cats we had growing up, such as slow-blinking upon eye contact to indicate everything’s fine. So a username that can be interpreted to mean I’m feline seems fitting.
I got my IRL nickname here, no need to reuse my random Reddit name.
I use random one all the time. I mostly lurk anyway, but I’ll post more on Fediverse.
I kept mine. Previously I only used this handle for Reddit, but now I have it here (and on Metafilter, where I created a new account after flouncing 10+ years ago—seems weirdly fitting as I originally learned of Reddit’s existence from Metafilter.)
The original name I wanted on Reddit was taken. Here it was not, so I changed.
