I’m the king of the Valar, so that’s pretty cool 😄

I got my ideal name lol.

But I don’t think it matters - a unique username is only special when we’re on a singular centralized server where usernames have to be unique. When a good chunk of the content is being viewed back and forth across many different server instances, everybody is seeing a lot of everyone else’s names with “username@instance-domain”, which kind of is the “unnecessary underscores or numbers” because the host server is what makes our usernames unique.

If anything, our usernames mean even less than they did before, and that’s OK!

And with multiple domains, if it’s taken one place it might not be another.

i got to be mishamouse instead of mishamau5, so i don’t have to look like i’m stuck in my dubstep/leetspeak phase anymore.

I didn’t even think, I just used the same as my reddit one.

Which is fine, I have 99 on everything else, being just gk would be weird.

Cheese was already taken 😭

Mom says its my turn on the account naming scheme!

I would never have been able to be just Gabe on reddit. It’s nice.

Early adopter of a particular instance? Sure.
Someone can still grab the same name and post from another instance.

They told me I could become anything so I became a bee

Here’s the downside, your username will be remade on another instance exactly as it is here. Unless you make your username everywhere. So it’s kinda like having [email protected] but someone else has [email protected]. I think there are probably some super autistic people that might grab their nicks on every big server currently lol

My username is usually available everywhere and I’m content with it, but I’m happy for you guys

The sdc-prefix doesn’t mean anything to me anymore but after all these years, I feel naked without it.
