I originally went with the same name but have been using this one now since it’s new and the idea of starting fresh appeals to me.
My initial thought was to reuse my existing name so others who already knew me might see that I’m here since we never communicated outside of the given subs we were apart of. I’m not sure how likely that would actually be though. It’s not as if I was anyone popular or well known. So, my thinking is I’ll stick with my new one and move on.
What have you chosen to do? Start fresh or carry your username over?
ViralN9 ( @ViralN9@kbin.social ) 19•1 year agoI use this UN basically everywhere. Here is no different.
justinh_tx ( @justinh_tx@kbin.social ) 7•1 year agoSame. I’ve been justinh_tx for 20 years or more on just about every site/service that let’s you have an underscore in your username. If I can’t have an underscore I’m justinh512tx.
SIAMESEDICK ( @SIAMESEDICK@kbin.social ) 3•1 year agoReplying to you. I’m brand new here and wondering how in the fuck do I leave a reply to the thread? The only reply button I see is for other comments not to the post.
You use the text box at the bottom of the page for replying to a thread.
HandsHurtLoL ( @HandsHurtLoL@kbin.social ) 1•1 year agoThe comment box is at the bottom of the stack of comments, so you have to scroll to almost the entire bottom of the page to start a parent comment.
Dickbutt ( @Dickbutt@kbin.social ) 7•1 year agoI…uh, went with a classic.
New one. And i had an extremely scientific observational method for coming up with it.
Dickbutt ( @Dickbutt@kbin.social ) 3•1 year agoDitto
RetroRandy ( @RetroRandy@kbin.social ) 6•1 year agoNew name for me. I figured what the hell, new community new name.
I decided on a totally new name. New place, new name
DefiantBarber ( @DefiantBarber@kbin.social ) 3•1 year agoI even did a new email since I didn’t want my username tied to my primary one!
error404 ( @error404@kbin.social ) 2•1 year agoNew name new email also. This is my first comment.
daddy ( @daddy@kbin.social ) 5•1 year agoI was pretty hyped to snag “daddy”
New one I wanted a something that would make me look like the “cream of the crop”
Ooh yeah!
Reused…but this time with all the vowels. I am here for no character limit. Or at least more characters than reddit allowed.
Spaceman2901 ( @Spaceman2901@kbin.social ) 5•1 year agoThis is one of three nicks I use all over the web. One for social media, one for shooters, and one for MMOs.
So yeah, kept my /u/ from Reddit.
quantum_mechanic ( @quantum_mechanic@kbin.social ) 5•1 year agoNew one. My 13 year old account has a stupid name and got banned for absolutely nothing.
tinwhiskers ( @tinwhiskers@kbin.social ) 5•1 year agoIt was a chance to get the username I wanted. More importantly, I’m loving the more free use of profile pictures. I can actually recognise people visually now instead of everyone looking like much the same snoo.
Bubkis ( @Bubkis@kbin.social ) 5•1 year agoCompletely new name, I had like, 10 reddit accounts, I’d make a new one every year to avoid anyone potentially stalking me
Severian ( @Severian@kbin.social ) 4•1 year agoNew username, I saw that the name of the protagonist from one of my favorite books was available and so I POUNCED on it :)
Gabbro ( @Gabbro@kbin.social ) 4•1 year agoNew. I didn’t need to consult some name generator this time to find something I liked. I thought about getting something crude but I’m going to be using this account for quite a while so I chose this.
Timestatic ( @Timestatic@kbin.social ) 4•1 year agoSame one, I use this username on way more platforms than just reddit so why change!
