Reddit Migration

I use this UN basically everywhere. Here is no different.

I…uh, went with a classic.

I decided on a totally new name. New place, new name

New one. And i had an extremely scientific observational method for coming up with it.

New one. My reddit one is from over a decade ago. While most of my online stuff is using that ancient name, I've started using a few more since then. Granted I'm re-using one of my newer names, but still

I'm using a new one. I like a change!

Changing usernames and/or deleting mature accounts can be an approach to privacy that may be useful. Tracking algorithms from huge tech companies might be sophisticated enough to identify you anyway with information like public IP/location and browsing habits, plus who knows what else.
Nevertheless, I still change usernames frequently.

New name. Old name was a wayy different me anyways

I did not. Sometime last year I changed my username to this across all platforms, but Reddit wouldn't let me change it.

Same. It has sentimental value so I wanted to keep it.

My Reddit name pre dates Reddit by more than a few years. It will outlast Reddit if I have my way.

Went with a new one. Still sci-fi inspired but wanted that "fresh start" feel

Used the same username. I am envisioning a future in wherein whenever somebody needs to search up something on Google in regards to some tech issue/opinion, instead of putting "best gaming laptop 2023 reddit", they will instead search "best gaming laptop 2023 kbin"

I took the opportunity to ditch the edgelord name I came up with when I was 14

Same one for me.

Back in my beginning days in Reddit, I originally wanted to register "wooferine" but it was already taken., so I chose "woooferine" instead.

Yes, I kept the extra "o" here. My g-board knows my username, so why change it?

I’ve got a new username. Starting fresh! But tbh I tend to clear down and get a new username every so often anyway. Probably just being paranoid but feel like it keeps my account more anonymous.

Mine was from an old open source project. I no longer use it and have started to use a different name elsewhere - would have changed it on Reddit too if Reddit had allowed it.

I’ve been Takeshidude since I was maybe 11 back on Lego.com

Feels wrong to have any other name

New one, wanted this from the beginning but was already taken on Reddit 10+ years ago

Yes, but no. It's inspired by my Reddit username, but I managed to get a much much shorter variant on Kbin, lol.

VulcanSphere is my username (almost) everywhere within the cybersphere.

So, yeah. Stick with a recognisable name.

I think my name says it all

This was my preference there but wasn't available. Now it's MINE!

I went with a new one. Fresh start and all.

I was u/CanadaPlus101. Same thing for continuity, but I could drop the numbers.

I should put my old user in my profile.

new one. I don't like any consistent data to tie things together. When I talk about myself I regularly will change details or I will use conistant details that are not quite right. Like my birday. 01/23/1987 although I have used 01/23/1942 but that makes me a bit to old to be believable so I changed it.

I use random one all the time. I mostly lurk anyway, but I'll post more on Fediverse.

I reused my Reddit username. I kind of identify with it. I love healthy curiosity and Lynx are my favourite wild animal.

Also, I suspect I copied some nonverbal communication clues from the cats we had growing up, such as slow-blinking upon eye contact to indicate everything's fine. So a username that can be interpreted to mean I'm feline seems fitting.

I got my IRL nickname here, no need to reuse my random Reddit name.

Been using this name since I had a Xbox 360. It almost feels more familiar than my real name.

I went new but it's an old handle. I missed it.

I kept mine. Previously I only used this handle for Reddit, but now I have it here (and on Metafilter, where I created a new account after flouncing 10+ years ago—seems weirdly fitting as I originally learned of Reddit’s existence from Metafilter.)

This is a new one. I thought it'd be a great chance to come up with some cool new name but I feel kinda "meh" about it.

new to try and get a more basic name

Completely new name, I had like, 10 reddit accounts, I'd make a new one every year to avoid anyone potentially stalking me

This is one of three nicks I use all over the web. One for social media, one for shooters, and one for MMOs.

So yeah, kept my /u/ from Reddit.

i wouldn't share names cuz then i'd have ppl know who i was, bad OPSEC. Instead, I doxx myself here so that others cannot doxx me.

New name....have been changing some names around recently. Pretty easy to spot my accounts with my avatar though.

I'm using the name I would've used had it not been taken.

The original name I wanted on Reddit was taken. Here it was not, so I changed.

I tried to reuse my name but I've messed up something and can't login anymore, just made a new one numbered
