Nicely done.
Been using it since the 20th century, and it's never taken by anyone else.
I’m going to start stealing your username on all new sites so you’ll have to be like Rhyn0plaz
😠
I used to trust a lot of things, but then i stopped
I'm glad you can still trust Noone. Whoever they are.
Mine accurately describes me
I usually go for a play on words
Last week on lan party friend named himself Fu-King-Sheep.
"Who is fucking sheep?"
"I hope that nobody is fucking sheep"
He had something like this every game.
If you haven't done it yet, next time set your name to Your Daddy.
I'm just really, actually Frankenstein.

It's a concept in Japanese martial arts that I read in a book by Takuan Soho.
Wiki:
Fudōshin (Japanese: 不動心) is a state of equanimity or imperturbability (literally and metaphorically, "immovable mind",[1] "immovable heart"[2] or "unmoving heart"). It is a philosophical or mental dimension to Japanese martial arts which contributes to the effectiveness of the advanced practitioner.
I was training in Jujutsu and kenjutsu at the time and the concept clicked. I know it sounds very 'weeb' but it was an epiphany and quite profound for me at the time.
There's a Shingon Buddhist deity that encapsulates the concept too and he holds a sword to cut through ignorance and delusion.
There're some related concepts like Mushin that come together with marital arts.
That's really cool, thank you for sharing :)
I created this account to ask about curves.
It came to me in a dream. I don't know what it means.
Niceee
I just use my password.
It helps to have a favorite band whose logo is related to your hobby

Nobody really gives a crap anyways and the signal username is not displayed to your peers. Combine some shit and be good.

I'm weird and generally people think I'm an idiot
I don’t
Something I was really into at one particular moment.
Sacabambaspis is an extinct genus of jawless fish that lived in the Ordovician period
I love it
Some leather men called me this at pride and it stuck
My default is the first name I gave to myself before I even was in first class.
When I need something else or temporary I just slap together some words.
I never use the same username across systems. That would make correlation way too easy.
Be edgy and random
I try to make it as short as possible because it looks cool to me
Assuming the name has no real use or meaning, I'll often "blur" the site into a similar/related word, and possibly do that a couple of times. For instance, Signal becomes singer, becomes your favorite singer. Or signal becomes noise, becomes Public Enemy. Bonus points if I can bring it back to a pun
Don't wanna dox myself but mine was my favorite character in a video game and my favorite band. That combination was never taken in anything.
A username I used from other sites.
I used to ride a motorbike like a cunt. Tried to be descriptive.
mine is just a shortened version of freedom fighter
It's my actual name. Anonymity is an illusion.

I spent 5 minutes coming up with a xbox360 username as a kid based off games I recently payed. Good enough to last me my entire life.
I like donuts
It's meaningful to me, and meaningless to the internet.
I had a plan that'd I'd comment on random things i came across and give a really convincing but incorrect take on it. Never got around to it.
Well let's be real, anyone who's had them has tried this. As someone who does this often I must say it was difficult to type my username
i imagine you won’t have an issue with spam in signal considering the .## they add to every username.
But in general the more distinct it is the less likely you’ll have someone nagging you.
If you want to avoid building a footprint of similar usernames my favorite is just switching out some letters (o’s to u’s or a’s to e’s stuff like that) or taking out specific letters entirely (ex: ottr)
