Reddit Migration

I…uh, went with a classic.

I use this UN basically everywhere. Here is no different.

I’ve been Takeshidude since I was maybe 11 back on Lego.com

Feels wrong to have any other name

I took the opportunity to ditch the edgelord name I came up with when I was 14

This was my preference there but wasn't available. Now it's MINE!

Yes, but no. It's inspired by my Reddit username, but I managed to get a much much shorter variant on Kbin, lol.

New one, wanted this from the beginning but was already taken on Reddit 10+ years ago

I think my name says it all

Been using this name since I had a Xbox 360. It almost feels more familiar than my real name.

I went new but it's an old handle. I missed it.

I was u/CanadaPlus101. Same thing for continuity, but I could drop the numbers.

I should put my old user in my profile.

I reused my Reddit username. I kind of identify with it. I love healthy curiosity and Lynx are my favourite wild animal.

Also, I suspect I copied some nonverbal communication clues from the cats we had growing up, such as slow-blinking upon eye contact to indicate everything's fine. So a username that can be interpreted to mean I'm feline seems fitting.

I kept mine. Previously I only used this handle for Reddit, but now I have it here (and on Metafilter, where I created a new account after flouncing 10+ years ago—seems weirdly fitting as I originally learned of Reddit’s existence from Metafilter.)

Same one for me.

Back in my beginning days in Reddit, I originally wanted to register "wooferine" but it was already taken., so I chose "woooferine" instead.

Yes, I kept the extra "o" here. My g-board knows my username, so why change it?

I use random one all the time. I mostly lurk anyway, but I'll post more on Fediverse.

I got my IRL nickname here, no need to reuse my random Reddit name.

Changing usernames and/or deleting mature accounts can be an approach to privacy that may be useful. Tracking algorithms from huge tech companies might be sophisticated enough to identify you anyway with information like public IP/location and browsing habits, plus who knows what else.
Nevertheless, I still change usernames frequently.

The original name I wanted on Reddit was taken. Here it was not, so I changed.

new one. I don't like any consistent data to tie things together. When I talk about myself I regularly will change details or I will use conistant details that are not quite right. Like my birday. 01/23/1987 although I have used 01/23/1942 but that makes me a bit to old to be believable so I changed it.

i slightly adjusted mine

New name....have been changing some names around recently. Pretty easy to spot my accounts with my avatar though.

VulcanSphere is my username (almost) everywhere within the cybersphere.

So, yeah. Stick with a recognisable name.

Used the same username. I am envisioning a future in wherein whenever somebody needs to search up something on Google in regards to some tech issue/opinion, instead of putting "best gaming laptop 2023 reddit", they will instead search "best gaming laptop 2023 kbin"

New one. And i had an extremely scientific observational method for coming up with it.

I'm using a new one. I like a change!

My Reddit username was a really old one that I had switched from using a good number of years ago. So my KBin username is different, but it's the one I'm using on basically everything else.

Reddit doesn't really have the option to change your username IIRC so I am using the name I would have used on Reddit if it wasn't for my dumb teenage brain at the time :P

My Reddit name is a button mash because signups weren’t working. Then they were.

I use the same username on minecraft which was weirdly enough already in use in reddit. Now I can use it on lemmy.

I’ve got a new username. Starting fresh! But tbh I tend to clear down and get a new username every so often anyway. Probably just being paranoid but feel like it keeps my account more anonymous.

I went with a new one. Fresh start and all.

I tried to reuse my name but I've messed up something and can't login anymore, just made a new one numbered

I went with my alt username. My Reddit username was the first part of my gmail address because I was dumb 14 years ago (well, dumber, anyway) and didn’t know you couldn’t change it.

New one. My reddit one is from over a decade ago. While most of my online stuff is using that ancient name, I've started using a few more since then. Granted I'm re-using one of my newer names, but still

I reused the username I originally used when I moved to Ruqqus 3 years ago. I've been all over the place ever since, and I've seen many of these alternatives inevitably fall. Ruqqus, Voat, Votal, Syzitus, Saidit is somehow still active.

It may be something new to many of you, but at this point I've seen enough sites shut down. I don't mean to come here with bad vibes, but it's not easy to be optimistic anymore.

I still miss Ruqqus from time to time, despite not sharing the opinions of a good portion of their user base, I never had a bad experience, even though I did pock the hornet's nest a few times.

New name. Seemed time for a change/simplification.

Different name.

My reddit name was what I called the car I was driving at the time or making my account, many years ago. The car I’m driving now, I call The Attack Bunny….

my old name was u/Spez, but nobody seems to like me on reddit.
so i came over here and changed my name.
Do you guys need a CEO?
