Do you all still use your old username?

No, I've changed it.

My reddit name became known to a couple of my friends during the 10 years I was there and I want the total anonymity again.

My user name is just too cool to not reuse!

I will never change my username

Yep, I like the name

Yes.

This one predates Reddit, and I will use it long after Lemmy.

I have been using this username since I joined the Internet.

I considered it, but I liked the idea that I could actually pick something short and (semi)sweet instead.

Plus, new start and all that.

It pretty much encompasses my entire existence so yeah I use it on pretty much everything

I am using the same username, though not the same display name (as most of these don't have a display name option). Only fitting.

Yep, no need to change it up now.

Nope! Brand new

Yes and no. For this account it is linked to my mod page for skyrim, so used the same name. My other accounts were able to get usernames I originally wanted but were unavailable.

Nope.

Nope. I am reborn.

Went on a streak of switching usernames because there were people who had nearly the same username, and coined this one up like 3 years ago and settled with it since. Pretty much use this everywhere except for school and Reddit.

Nope, my old username sucked because everything else was taken.

On some platforms I do. For Lemmy and YouTube, I figured this would be a good time to rebrand.

Yes

Yes and no.... in my confusion I ended up with three logins, only one of which is my old username. But I like the sh.itjust.works instance on Lemmy, so I'm sticking with this one. Mrs Doyle is my spirit animal anyway. There's always time for a nice cup of tea.

No, I thought of a better one

This username has been going with me for two decades. I did use it in Reddit, some years ago, but I deleted that account back then - disgusted at the company.

I typically change my username every few months, so no. Can’t get attached to any one online identity.

I slightly adjust mine for the platform

Since 1997, yes.

i've had this username since the late 90's.

Yeah this is generally my name on everything.

I've had this username (or a variation of it) ever since I started using the internet. It helps with the analysis paralysis I usually get when deciding on a new username.

No, because I used to have the same username everywhere until i became aware how much easier it is to tie that to me. Literally a google search away.

Maybe.

Mostly the same one for everything. Depending on if "promitheas" is taken Ill add something to the end to differentiate them

I don't know.

Nope, there's no username that sticks for me. Oh well, good for privacy, I guess...

I made one reminiscent to my old username but figured I’d do a fresh start with a new account.

I updated.

I changed my username that I use on most things about 6 years ago. But I've been on reddit for 12, so it had the old one.

Yep! I use it all across the Internet, not just on Reddit

Yeah, although in hindsight i probably should have taken advantage of the fact that not all the simple short usernames are taken here
