I’m satisfied with mine and I use it everywhere. How about you?

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

      Using the same username across multiple platforms just makes it easier for data brokers and stalkers to make connections.

      I often get mine by using a FIPS-181-compliant pronounceable password generator, apg.

      $ apg -n8
      cepKopBic
      emEsugJi
      mygpheaj
      godPond8
      DytekHubNi
      chamhopp
      CoHuotsyo
      NupajHeOv
      

      On the Threadiverse, though, since the namespace was so unpopulated, figured, “eh, what the heck, be nice to have a short one”. Might rotate it at some point; I did go through a number on Reddit.

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

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