For a while I was using the same username for everything, but recently I’ve been trying to mix it up.
Context: Currently picking my new username for Signal and I’m not sure what to put. I don’t want spam, and I use Signal for privacy, but I could also do something nice. First name? Randomly generated?
Something I was really into at one particular moment.
Sacabambaspis is an extinct genus of jawless fish that lived in the Ordovician period
I love it
I pick something that describes me but isn’t too specific
Nicely done.
I never use the same username across systems. That would make correlation way too easy.
I used to trust a lot of things, but then i stopped
I’m glad you can still trust Noone. Whoever they are.
I usually go for a play on words
i imagine you won’t have an issue with spam in signal considering the .## they add to every username.
But in general the more distinct it is the less likely you’ll have someone nagging you.
If you want to avoid building a footprint of similar usernames my favorite is just switching out some letters (o’s to u’s or a’s to e’s stuff like that) or taking out specific letters entirely (ex: ottr)
Well let’s be real, anyone who’s had them has tried this. As someone who does this often I must say it was difficult to type my username

Been using it since the 20th century, and it’s never taken by anyone else.
I’m going to start stealing your username on all new sites so you’ll have to be like Rhyn0plaz
😠
I’m just really, actually Frankenstein.

Not sure how I picked this one it was the name for a throwaway account I forgot about for like 10 years. Nowadays I like the randomly generated ones that are like random adjective with a random animal noun. Like AngryRaccoon or UglyBear
“Cloud” is the name of my first love.
Be edgy and random
Whatever came to mind first
Mine accurately describes me
