Reddit Migration

Mine was from an old open source project. I no longer use it and have started to use a different name elsewhere - would have changed it on Reddit too if Reddit had allowed it.

VulcanSphere is my username (almost) everywhere within the cybersphere.

So, yeah. Stick with a recognisable name.

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

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

Feels wrong to have any other name

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

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

I think my name says it all

Same one cuz lazy

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.

same one, u/hazbuzan.

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

super old username.

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.

Same one, just signed up after finding this site yesterday night :)

I’m using a very old username that I never used on Reddit. My Reddit username is retired.

Same UN. Just felt familiar

New one. When I made my Reddit account I really want sure what I was doing and it auto created one for me, it was very random.

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.)

new to try and get a more basic name

i wouldn't share names cuz then i'd have ppl know who i was, bad OPSEC. Instead, I doxx myself here so that others cannot doxx me.

I was u/CanadaPlus101. Same thing for continuity, but I could drop the numbers.

I should put my old user in my profile.

New name....have been changing some names around recently. Pretty easy to spot my accounts with my avatar though.

I tried to reuse my name but I've messed up something and can't login anymore, just made a new one numbered

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.

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

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.

I got my IRL nickname here, no need to reuse my random Reddit name.

I decided to go with a new one that was randomly generated. Keep it interesting

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.

My reddit username was different from the name I use on everything else since I had made it as a second account for a joke but then forgot to log out and it ended up passing my original main in karma. I went back to my normal name here

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….

I 100% used the same one.
I've had the same username everywhere I go ever since making my xbox live account for Halo 3.

Reused the name of my FFXIV character, along with a pointer to job. I've had a few names on Reddit, and lots all over the place. I've been using the internet a long time, and being exactly the same always would be boring.

New name. Seemed time for a change/simplification.

I chose the username I wanted for Reddit because it was already taken over there

Using the same name as my old Reddit. I'm loving the Fediverse so far! Seems more fun and less stressful than the Reddit front page.

To me this is a Reddit replacement, so I'm just keeping my old name

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

Same one! ;-)
