How did you come up with your username?
I’ll go first, it’s simple, the Internet is literally an open field where anyone can do whatever they want.
Got frustrated trying to sign up for Lemmy.
This was a thing in the beginning, a lot of instances had just spinning buttons on signup if email didn’t work correctly.
My old username from reddit and HN was already taken and I couldn’t think of anything else I wanted to be called so I just picked some random characters like this:
>>> import random >>> ''.join([random.choice("abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789") for x in range(5)]) 'e0qdk'I have that literally in my kbin profile, but it’s not on my reddthat one. (I think I tried to copy it there originally when I set up the account but ran into some issue with Lemmy’s UI – been long enough that I forget what exactly.)
I signed up during the Rexodus, which happened to be a lovely summer day so I was hanging out outside at the time of sign-up. I glanced around my yard looking for inspiration, saw my fireweed patch, and figured that was as good a name as any.
Fireweed is a hardy plant native to much of North America, with beautiful pink flowers that native bees love, and it requires little maintenance once established. It is also edible and has medicinal properties! Please consider planting it (or seed-bombing it in an empty lot) if you live in its native range! More info here
Definitely was not the fire weed I was thinking. That said, you’ve inspired me to try to grow some of my own!
Between Lemmy and Reddit, I’m a long time lurker, rarely a poster, especially as toxic as Reddit was I just found what I was looking for and moved along. Don’t mind me, I’m just:
PassingThrough.
I played with someone online I on the PS vita and started using their username. Sorry secret300

And it kinda rhymes.

Ya know, it is kinda ironic these days with the great views 1 mile each way and the cheaper prices compared to the rest of our homeland :p

Not that Alanis Morissette song?

Everything makes me angry but I’m working on it.
I sinned. As always.
Bastardized version of the name of a Sumerian god, referenced heavily in Snowcrash by Neil Stephenson.
It’s my surname “translated” to japanese: “Del Castillo” --> “和地城乃”
It roughly translates to “From the peaceful land/dirt castle”. I also chose those kanji for the phonetics. “Dehl kasteejo” -> “Kazuchijō No”
Castillo : Castle 城 (jō) : Castle
