I went with my alt username. My Reddit username was the first part of my gmail address because I was dumb 14 years ago (well, dumber, anyway) and didn’t know you couldn’t change it.

My Reddit name is a button mash because signups weren’t working. Then they were.

I created a new one as all the short ones were long gone at Reddit.

New. I didn't need to consult some name generator this time to find something I liked. I thought about getting something crude but I'm going to be using this account for quite a while so I chose this.

I've been wanting to use a different username for a while now cause I've been using the same one literally since AOL. but I couldn't think of a new one until a few months ago and this was the perfect time to use it. And it fits me more.

Same one as on reddit. :)

New one I wanted a something that would make me look like the "cream of the crop"

I was pretty hyped to snag “daddy”

Same one! ;-)

Same username as everywhere, Reddit was actually the first account I made under this name

Different name, although this is the one I use everywhere else. I just wasn’t early enough to nab it on Reddit ;)

My Reddit username was a really old one that I had switched from using a good number of years ago. So my KBin username is different, but it's the one I'm using on basically everything else.

Reddit doesn't really have the option to change your username IIRC so I am using the name I would have used on Reddit if it wasn't for my dumb teenage brain at the time :P

super old username.

I use the same username on minecraft which was weirdly enough already in use in reddit. Now I can use it on lemmy.

i slightly adjusted mine

I reused the username I originally used when I moved to Ruqqus 3 years ago. I've been all over the place ever since, and I've seen many of these alternatives inevitably fall. Ruqqus, Voat, Votal, Syzitus, Saidit is somehow still active.

It may be something new to many of you, but at this point I've seen enough sites shut down. I don't mean to come here with bad vibes, but it's not easy to be optimistic anymore.

I still miss Ruqqus from time to time, despite not sharing the opinions of a good portion of their user base, I never had a bad experience, even though I did pock the hornet's nest a few times.

New name. Seemed time for a change/simplification.

Different name.

My reddit name was what I called the car I was driving at the time or making my account, many years ago. The car I’m driving now, I call The Attack Bunny….

my old name was u/Spez, but nobody seems to like me on reddit.
so i came over here and changed my name.
Do you guys need a CEO?

New name, I always preferred the anonymity of reddit, even if you could technically trace someone with enough post history. So, starting with a new name starts that tracing who I am fresh. After 9 years of Reddit, I am sure my old name had a lot of info about me as a whole.

Nice try, FBI.
