I don’t mean my username! Yours!

I guess this is more of a game and maybe not strictly the right place. But, the idea is to make a top level reply with you asking ‘guess’ or saying ‘:)’ or what have you, and everyone else should answer what they think the username means or refers to, without looking any words or concepts up! Off the cuff, what do you think it means when you see this person’s username?

Not sure about the mobile apps, but if you hover over someone’s name in Lemmy it will show their username if they have a display name set. My username is quite boring and straightforward, but I like seeing other people’s weird usernames especially on semi-anon places.

Bonus: What do you visually think when you read it? Even if you misread it as a typo, what did you imagine when you read it & saw their avatar?

    This is probably my least enigmatic pseudonym, but maybe someone will have something to say about it.

      Well, it means comfy, but I think you probably meant it as a vibe based on your avatar, however I pictured a worn beige recliner. Pretty ratty, but comfy.

        Hah, I don’t even have a fireplace, candles or a warm drink. I’m a fraud!

        yes, it is a vibe. but in hindsight, I also like to treat it as a reminder, or a goal. It’s the internet, why make it any angrier? Make a site a home.
