For a while I was using the same username for everything, but recently I’ve been trying to mix it up.

Context: Currently picking my new username for Signal and I’m not sure what to put. I don’t want spam, and I use Signal for privacy, but I could also do something nice. First name? Randomly generated?

I pick something that describes me but isn’t too specific

Been using it since the 20th century, and it’s never taken by anyone else.

I’m going to start stealing your username on all new sites so you’ll have to be like Rhyn0plaz

Same. Had it since BBSs were a thing. No one else has ever created an account with it either. It’s irritating when a service requires #s in the username field. Don’t find those often and I don’t usually stick around.
