    I used to work for Facebook, and in their UI, it keeps you from taking a username less than 5 letters, but there was nothing in the database to stop it. So, I removed the check, brought up an instance on my dev server, and took the username “h”. I got a lot of threats for that.

    I’m no longer on Facebook.
