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.
whenever a cool name springs to my mind, i add it to a text file. i use that file when i create accounts or game characters and mark names in it i already used.
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.
I’m more attached to it then my real name
Agreed, its my online name (and i am online more often than not)
I inherited my name from the previous Dread Pirate Roberts…
You can take it from my cold, slippery hands.
Ew, you can keep it :)
Not anymore, since it’s really valuable to not have fixed identity on the net.
Mine is a work of art
Very attached
To the spliff or the username? :)
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.
Pretty attached. My parents picked it.
If I could just be “Bill” everywhere I would but it really only works on the fediverse.
I have a couple of usernames that I have used - or, more often, used variations of - for quite some time over a range of sites. However, it is not so much that I am attached to them as such. It is more that I can’t be arsed to come up with something new each time.
