Now that we are all switching to Lemmy, now is the time for all the redditors with embarrassing usernames to make their username right! Don't screw up this time!

Shoot…
- Me too, buddy
  
  Now that Reddit’s been made obsolete,
  Our new usernames can be discreet
  So, make your name right
  The future looks bright
  For Sweatyfartz and weinermeat
  
  Well at least someone needs me weinermeat
- ...Yeah.
  
  Yikes. We’re in this together now…
- Idk, I'd say you nailed it. Lol
  
  Your username is dope though!
- I need to rethink my life too
- Same
- 🫡
- Yeup, I make fart noises too. ! Damn it all!
- 🤣

So you’re saying you don’t want insightful, thoughtful comments from u/rimjob_steve this time around?
- Granted I need to figure out how to browse communities….but if there isn’t a Lemmy version of /r/rimjob_steve we definitely need to make one. That never got old for me.
  Edit: I went ahead and created the community! Find it here!
  
  Search for instances and communities: https://lemmyverse.net/
  
  Be the change you want to see in the world.
- Of all the things about reddit, /u/sinkpisser420 giving sound financial advice was one of the best things about the platform.
- Only the best information cause from a guy like that come on man!🤣
- Who doesn’t want hair tips or relationship advice from u/anal-plundering?

I went for thought-provoking this time around.

It's easy to get a username at the moment.

Yes! Don't use a password generator to make a username

Too late bro

Couldn't get the username you wanted? It's probably available on another federated instance.
- I don’t want to get crabs on any instance
- Nice try, crab people.

Don't tell me what to do

Completely understand why people would want to change their names. But why mess with perfection in my case?

I'll change it later...

Don't tell me how to live my life.

I'm pretty happy with mine.

I wanted something with no reddit drama attached what so ever

Got mine

Will do!

Shit

how did I do?
- Pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty good.
  
  omg don't use your real name on the internet
- Wish.com what3words?

I have no regrets

Nailed it.

Showerthought: This post is just an opportunity for users with inappropriate usernames to show them off.

Selfhost your own instance, and you can have any username

Who will be our RimjobSteve?!

I made the leap to Lemmy from reddit....16 ft through an announcers table

I chose well this time
- i use dvorak or quertz so i guess your choice is very legit in your area

Oh no

Well, fuck.

oh well... there's always next time

God... dammit

I didn't even think about this lol.

But, I am looking forward to changing my political views and recontextualizing my reality from a stirring post by CumFartCocktail :(

I'm just here because Spez sucks.

I don't understand on why on a website where you can be anyone that you would choose to be something gross.

That would have been waaaay funnier if it came from an account named sexybabyboy92

You guys are aware that you can change your display name, right?

I made sure not to use my real name this time. I had too much karma when I realized how dumb a move that was.
- Remember back in the old web when letting people know your real name was a horrifying breach of personal privacy? Heck, having the same username for multiple places gave me the hives, if it was unique enough.
  We need to go back to those days; not just for safety reasons but because there’s a freedom to the individualized anonymity of being a (apparently) distinct user in each instance.
- Yeah I sometimes wish my parents didn't name me trouser_mouse

I got this!

Uhh... I got nothing.

Feeling good

Perfectly happy with my username thank you very much

@spez@lemmy.world @spez@lemmy.ml @spez@beehaw.org @spez@sh.itjust.works
Idk if these accounts exists but...

I have just the best username.

I think I did fine

My old Reddit username has my birth year in it. Not as cringy now that I’m older, but when I made my account I was 15 lol. Big time “Summer Reddit” energy

Can't improve on perfection

Make sure it will stay relevant

Well this is a bit awkward

I had this one in my head for yeaaaaars and I'm so glad I can start from scratch here in the fediverse.

I just chose my real name.

Wanted PanGalacticGargleBlaster but apparently that was to long. So now I'm probably named like a gay pornstar. Well, it is what it is

Reddit couldnt let me reach my full potential. Look at me and tremble!

Eh I'll be fine.

You can screw it up. My display name here, for example, isn't my login name.

Definitely corrected the mistake, I went much dumber this time around.

..oops
