No, I've changed it.

My reddit name became known to a couple of my friends during the 10 years I was there and I want the total anonymity again.

I considered it, but I liked the idea that I could actually pick something short and (semi)sweet instead.

Plus, new start and all that.

Went on a streak of switching usernames because there were people who had nearly the same username, and coined this one up like 3 years ago and settled with it since. Pretty much use this everywhere except for school and Reddit.

2

Yes and no. For this account it is linked to my mod page for skyrim, so used the same name. My other accounts were able to get usernames I originally wanted but were unavailable.

2

I am using the same username, though not the same display name (as most of these don't have a display name option). Only fitting.

2

Nope, my old username sucked because everything else was taken.

2

I updated.

I changed my username that I use on most things about 6 years ago. But I've been on reddit for 12, so it had the old one.

Yes and no.... in my confusion I ended up with three logins, only one of which is my old username. But I like the sh.itjust.works instance on Lemmy, so I'm sticking with this one. Mrs Doyle is my spirit animal anyway. There's always time for a nice cup of tea.

Nope, there's no username that sticks for me. Oh well, good for privacy, I guess...

I made one reminiscent to my old username but figured I’d do a fresh start with a new account.

1

I've had this username (or a variation of it) ever since I started using the internet. It helps with the analysis paralysis I usually get when deciding on a new username.

1

No, because I used to have the same username everywhere until i became aware how much easier it is to tie that to me. Literally a google search away.

1

This username has been going with me for two decades. I did use it in Reddit, some years ago, but I deleted that account back then - disgusted at the company.

1

I typically change my username every few months, so no. Can’t get attached to any one online identity.

1

Mostly the same one for everything. Depending on if "promitheas" is taken Ill add something to the end to differentiate them

1

Yeah, although in hindsight i probably should have taken advantage of the fact that not all the simple short usernames are taken here

You reached the end

Do you all still use your old username? | Spyke
