Do you have a single username you feel attached to?
Or do you like to use different names for different occasions?
Edit two and a half days later:
Thank you all for answering my question! It was so interesting and fun to read all of your responses.
I really appreciate you for taking the time to write.
Deeply attached. If anything ever happened to it I’d be completely devastated.
zkfcfbzr more like… dumb
I’d rather not have a recognizable persona online
This name is just the fewest a’s i was allowed to register with
The “Take On Me” strategy of choosing a name I see.
By the ankle.

This is a cool idea
It’s my real name.
That’s so cool!
Found you
I have been this user name for seventeen years. I’m ADHD and forget friend on platforms. This makes it easy to find me.
You can take it from my cold, slippery hands.
Ew, you can keep it :)
I’m more attached to it then my real name
Agreed, its my online name (and i am online more often than not)
I just use my username to express myself until people who don’t like me ban me and then choose another to continue being myself.
Mine is a work of art
Very attached
To the spliff or the username? :)
Not at all. These days I just use random words when I sign up for new services.
I used to have a ‘consistent’ online identity, but at some point I decided I didn’t want others to be able to make connections between them.
Yeah, one of the advantages of password managers that’s not often mentioned. Aside from your password, it can remember what username, e-mail address, phone number, fake name or whatever else you used during signup.
I just use my name.
But why is it cursive? Must have a deeper meaning 🤔
Artistic freedom 🙃
I will call you Sir Dirk from now on :D
Enough to have been using it for 15~20 years. I only use it in a few sites though, where I feel like I want some sort of “identity” - otherwise I’ll pick something random.
Well, shite
