I always use randomly-generated user names. I try to avoid strings of random numbers and letters, but coming up with reasonably nice-looking random names is time-consuming, and some people might not care that much.
Have you found a convenient way of generating those? And does it integrate with any password manager you might be using?
I use Apples “Hide my email” with the password manager so I always have a randomly generated email and randomly generated password and they’re managed together. However there’s not really support for a username distinct from but in addition to email, nor a way to generate those randomly
I use random websites that don't require Javascript, tbh, and manually paste the name into KeePassXC.
Bitwarden does it nicely, you can click the random button on the username field when adding a new entry.
Bitwarden includes a username generator with a few different options for types.
