Can't get rid of it if I tried

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.

I’m not who I say I’m not

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.

No chance I'm getting a username this simple on most platforms

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

...vile conservative cockroaches... Sorry, what was the question?

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.

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.

Yes, I have had it for over 20 years.

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

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.

I like to hoot and holler

Gotta mix up names on different services to avoid being identified maliciously

Where is satansmaggotycumfart?

I was standing very far back when the gravitas was being handed out :(

I can't remember what mine is supposed to mean but it works

I love my username cause it make me feel soft n chonky

I never had complaints.

Sure, it reminds me of a very sarcastic raccoon.

This has been my handle for so long I honestly don't think I'm creative enough to make another one.

Well, it's my real name, sooooo

yes, but this is a permutation.

I used my move to Lemmy to switch to a different one after having the same cross-platform alias for something like 20 years. It was time for a bit more anonymity. Winamp kids might suspect it's related to the music player and they wouldn't be wrong.

I do somewhat regret not ending it with AMA, but such is life.

I'm not. And I won't be with another either.

Pfff no it's so picky and dry

No... I had to change it because people kept making the same username joke. This nickname was chosen to remind me that sometimes peace is an option.

Yes, it's the title of my all time favourite book. I don't use it anywhere else.

People that pronounce the 656 in my name: six hundred and fifty six drive me nuts.

Jokes aside I've had this username for around two decades, honestly it just sorta was the only thing that stuck with my 10 year old brain.

Edit: forgot to mention runescape, that's where this started.

HEXN3T. Simple. Memorable. Apt. Only took ten years to settle on.

Yeah.

Yes of course, but also like many others I always pick a different name for each platform.

I created one that stuck in 2009 or so. Used it up until last year, when I realized the old one was stale / I grew out of it.

So I'm Oka now, where available, and allow 3 character names.
