Ask Lemmy

It worx for me

Can't get rid of it if I tried

I've been using mine since 2011, and I will continue using it for many years. I have an alternate one that I use in some cases (things that need a little more professionalism attached), but for everything else, I will forever be LordPassionFruit.

I also have never tasted passion fruit.

I’m not who I say I’m not

It can be tiring, what with the constant coming and going of souls next door, but it’s worth being the neighbor of the beast.

It's fine. I don't prioritize personally-relevant usernames. Using the same username across multiple platforms just makes it easier for data brokers and stalkers to make connections. Most of my usernames are the result of 20 seconds of thought related to some piece of media I have been consuming.

When I picked this one, I was reading about psychopomps in various cultures. This figure was one I hadn't read about before and I figured it would make for a nice, unique handle.

No chance I'm getting a username this simple on most platforms

I've never seen using the same name everywhere lead to something positive. Negative however, plenty of times.

Yes, I have had it for over 20 years.

...vile conservative cockroaches... Sorry, what was the question?

Fine by me. It's disconnected from prior usernames except in one case, which I prefer.

Of course. Derek is now both a singular point in space, and yet, Derek also contains space itself. The nexus of Derek is without dimension. The moment of Derek's creation and the eventual heat death of the universe are now inexorably the same.

I use a different username on every website and on social media I change it fairly regularly.

Yes ✈️

Don't know if you'll see a lot of "no" replies, because I imagine if you're not happy with your username, you would've already done something by now like a new account.

I chose my username when I was a teenager and just kept with it since. The original meaning was that I'm a nerd, with both good and bad traits. It was also chosen with aspirations of being a YouTuber in mind and having something unique.

That being said, as I've matured I like to think that while I am a computer nerd, there's more to me than that single trait, so it may change in the future.

I like to hoot and holler

Gotta mix up names on different services to avoid being identified maliciously

I love my username cause it make me feel soft n chonky

What's not to love?

I was standing very far back when the gravitas was being handed out :(

Where is satansmaggotycumfart?

People that pronounce the 656 in my name: six hundred and fifty six drive me nuts.

Jokes aside I've had this username for around two decades, honestly it just sorta was the only thing that stuck with my 10 year old brain.

Edit: forgot to mention runescape, that's where this started.

Yes, it's the title of my all time favourite book. I don't use it anywhere else.

I never had complaints.

No... I had to change it because people kept making the same username joke. This nickname was chosen to remind me that sometimes peace is an option.

I can't remember what mine is supposed to mean but it works

Sure, it reminds me of a very sarcastic raccoon.

Well, it's my real name, sooooo

HEXN3T. Simple. Memorable. Apt. Only took ten years to settle on.

Yeah.

I'm not. And I won't be with another either.

I made a typo when I signed up lol

yes, but this is a permutation.

I used my move to Lemmy to switch to a different one after having the same cross-platform alias for something like 20 years. It was time for a bit more anonymity. Winamp kids might suspect it's related to the music player and they wouldn't be wrong.

I do somewhat regret not ending it with AMA, but such is life.

I am fine with it, I have been using nocturne on the Internet since 93. Although I hate having to use a number at the end of it. When I joined sopuli I decided to replace the c with a k, since the instance is Finnish and I wanted the name to appear more Finnish. But I do not care for how it looks with the k.
