Hello tinnitus my old friend
You've come to ring the bells again.
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.
You should try passion fruit. It's great and you will truly become LordPassionFruit.
Passion fruit margaritas are good
I’m not who I say I’m not
Idk that sounds like something Rick would say
Same
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.

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.

I often get mine by using a FIPS-181-compliant pronounceable password generator, apg.

On the Threadiverse, though, since the namespace was so unpopulated, figured, "eh, what the heck, be nice to have a short one". Might rotate it at some point; I did go through a number on Reddit.
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?
LOL
Yes, I have had it for over 20 years.
Yes, I have had it for over 22 years.
Yes, I have had it for 30 years.
Damn, only 21 for me.
Fine by me. It's disconnected from prior usernames except in one case, which I prefer.
Every few years I change up. I don't like too much info about me being discoverable. I'm very uncensored online and if I had a bunch of people paying attention or especially able to link it to my real world identity I would be very uncomfortable being who I am.
One time my Reddit name matched my FetLife name and I managed to piss someone off who went through my post history and I quickly recognized my vulnerability. So no more of that shit.

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.

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 use a different username on every website and on social media I change it fairly regularly.
Yes ✈️
I like to hoot and holler
Gotta mix up names on different services to avoid being identified maliciously
I was standing very far back when the gravitas was being handed out :(
I love my username cause it make me feel soft n chonky
Where is satansmaggotycumfart?
I can't remember what mine is supposed to mean but it works
Fastest waffles in the galaxy.
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.
Sure, it reminds me of a very sarcastic raccoon.
Yes, it's the title of my all time favourite book. I don't use it anywhere else.
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.
I never had complaints.
I made a typo when I signed up lol
Pfff no it's so picky and dry
This has been my handle for so long I honestly don't think I'm creative enough to make another one.
I am fine with it, I have been using nocturne on the Internet since 93. Although I hate having to use a number at the end of it. When I joined sopuli I decided to replace the c with a k, since the instance is Finnish and I wanted the name to appear more Finnish. But I do not care for how it looks with the k.

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.
HEXN3T. Simple. Memorable. Apt. Only took ten years to settle on.
Yeah.
I'm not. And I won't be with another either.
