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 try to make it as short as possible because it looks cool to me
It helps to have a favorite band whose logo is related to your hobby
I spent 5 minutes coming up with a xbox360 username as a kid based off games I recently payed. Good enough to last me my entire life.
It’s meaningful to me, and meaningless to the internet.
I like donuts
Be edgy and random
Some leather men called me this at pride and it stuck
I just use my password.
I had a plan that’d I’d comment on random things i came across and give a really convincing but incorrect take on it. Never got around to it.
Something bad had just happened to me
I never use the same username across systems. That would make correlation way too easy.
Well let’s be real, anyone who’s had them has tried this. As someone who does this often I must say it was difficult to type my username
Something I was really into at one particular moment.
Sacabambaspis is an extinct genus of jawless fish that lived in the Ordovician period
I love it
i imagine you won’t have an issue with spam in signal considering the .## they add to every username.
But in general the more distinct it is the less likely you’ll have someone nagging you.
If you want to avoid building a footprint of similar usernames my favorite is just switching out some letters (o’s to u’s or a’s to e’s stuff like that) or taking out specific letters entirely (ex: ottr)

NeverendingSausage37Nobody really gives a crap anyways and the signal username is not displayed to your peers. Combine some shit and be good.
