Did you reuse your Reddit name or create a new one?

I originally went with the same name but have been using this one now since it's new and the idea of starting fresh appeals to me.

My initial thought was to reuse my existing name so others who already knew me might see that I'm here since we never communicated outside of the given subs we were apart of. I'm not sure how likely that would actually be though. It's not as if I was anyone popular or well known. So, my thinking is I'll stick with my new one and move on.

What have you chosen to do? Start fresh or carry your username over?

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

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.

NotMyOldRedditName,

I think my name says it all

Niklaus,

New name. Seemed time for a change/simplification.

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.)

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

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

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

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

curiosityLynx,

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.

SteveXVII,

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

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

Takeshidude,

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

Feels wrong to have any other name

Raymond,

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