Is full caps account names not normal ?

LIKE_THIS ? And do i come of as some kinda culty weirdo ? I thought that looked formal and trademarky ? Am i a zoomer aldready out of touch and becoming cringe ? Should i change my accs to small letters but i’ll lose my block history whuch is almost 1000 /c/ any way to back that up ?

Edit : also to get ahead on that matter yes i may or may not have had FULL_CAPS alts and may have felt like a troll but no chained accs like that has ever been created by me . (By chained i meant same name on different instance i pulled the term out of my ass just now enjoy 😂)

Make me slightly uncomfortable. What do you want all that attention for? Why are you screaming your own name? Are you having an identity crisis?

Never has all caps looked formal, has it?

AA5B,

I don’t see why anyone would use all caps

THE_ANTIHERO,

Don’t all the things like lawyers, teachers, companies etc have theirs in caps ?

I’m all over the Fediverse under this name and also @TeaHands so could be either tbh. I did a lot of tech support in the early days of the big migration here :D

THE_ANTIHERO,

Ha so i am not crazy haha

dingus,

Well not for that reason anyway

damium,

Business systems from the 80s used to automatically convert everything name related to caps. It made it easier to do string matching which was generally case sensitive in the DB. It also made data entry easier as you just turn capslock on and type.

No so much formal as lazy semi-formal.

no. seems to be only used by a number of problematic accounts.

THE_ANTIHERO,

Huh i got that . So avoiding that issue should i change my accs ?

It is unusual and comes off similar to the way yelling your name in casual conversation would.

What to do about it is up to you.

If professional trademark is what you’re going for, I’m thinking you’re on the wrong site. LinkedIn might be more your style.

Oh, I didn’t even realise usernames have distinct case. Neat.

If you really want to annoy people, go for aLtErNaTiNg mEmE cAsE.

THE_ANTIHERO,

Or or that full blue thing which i don’t know how to do

THE_ANTIHERO,

SpaceNoodle,

Now that you mention it, I should have gone with SPACE_NOODLE

Rolando,

Dude, if you want to do that, make accounts named after old mainframes. Like ENIAC, UNIVAC, FUJIC, etc.

MedicPigBabySaver,

STOP yelling!

THE_ANTIHERO,

NOOO
