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!

Yes! Don't use a password generator to make a username
Exactly. So if you didn't use a password generator to generate your password, it's okay to use your password as your username.

Actually....doing this is great for security and privacy. Especially for more sensitive logins.
Use a password manager.
Yea, in all seriousness, I did it for privacy. Also, if I frequently change usernames, it makes sense not to use up desired usernames that others would want
Yours is my favorite here. Clever and subtly suggestive.
Finely aged brandy to the jägerbombs in this thread, like @SatansMaggotyCumFart.
Haha thank you so much! "Finely aged brandy" indeed!
(Also lol gonads)
Decided this time to go with my gamertag. I made it in middle school like 17 years ago. I'll be very amused if you/anyone can guess what original flash era video inspired it.
Wheeeeeeeee! If that makes no sense, it's not that one haha
Haha, nice! figured that wouldn't be too hard given the age range here!
The 125 is a Monty Python Holy Hand Grenade reference. Was playing a lot of Worms Armageddon at the time too, and first used that screen name on Battlefield 1942. Fuck I feel old!
Haha I remember playing the Lemmings game on an Amiga, Lemmy reminds me of that!
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
Reddit was actually the first place where I didn't use my real name. Prior to that, I was on a huge kick that one of the worst things about online communities was that people were anonymous and said stuff that they wouldn't say to real life people. But by the time I signed up for Reddit eight years ago, I figured that ship had sailed.
Perfectly happy with my username thank you very much
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
You can set your own display name, and you can have any username you want if you run your own instance or at least join a small one. Getting that one special username is not that important which is great because it's another feature that keeps egos in check.
Unless you pick the name uncheckedego
Shit
I made a choice and I stand by it, so should you trouser mouse!
You can change it now if you want! Alice is a good name though, especially since I am a fan of Wonderland.
thank you ! oh damn right it is, i'm completely satisfied with it! Though, the origin of my name comes from something MUCH different than Alice in Wonderland...
Tbh, my first thought was to use my old one. Then I really went for a fresh start, and actually I like this one better.
Yeah same. I took one of an actual historical person, but it's so niche, you won't find a lot about him, until I've finished writing the Wikipedia entry about him.
I choose to forever cringe at my first chosen name.
fart noises
Oh damn it!!
Yeah no way hose. Changing the name here would be admitting to myself that it was a stupid nickname back then. I mean, i know it was a stupid nickname but admitting it is a step too far.
May I mention that "hose" most likely should be "Jose" spoken with a Spanish pronunciation?
I love seeing when folks type out an idiom they've only ever spoken and you get weird quirks like this. Language is fun
I didn't exist before, and I still don't. I have never existed, and I never will.
It hurts
What can I say? I like my name so much I went and made it my Lemmy domain and my username.
That's definitely what someone nicknamed Ubergeek would do.
Not embarrassing but I had a pretty unimaginative username and always felt I could have done better. Lemmy gave me a chance to have a kickass username… and I squandered it by feeling too much pressure and writing whatever came to my mind first in the prompt :(
Don't worry, I just wrote the first name that came to mind while dipping my balls in the shredder
I regret my Reddit user since it used a slur that I no longer want to associate with but now I also regret this user since I came up with a better one a few days ago
I’d actually argue that it’s easier to get good names simply because each instance can have its own username pool. For instance, my username could also be used on other instances by other people. Me creating this account doesn’t stop someone from creating the same name elsewhere.
I wouldn't enable 2fa yet either there are some bugs, and the code it generated for me didn't work and locked me out of my account for a good bit. I'm not sure why but the 2fa link didn't work for me so I copied the secret out of the url and put it in my authenticator but it never worked. Just fyi.
see last time I thought other people were my problems ~12 years ago.
Now I just have people problems instead of like, homework problems, or computer problems, or car problems.
Wife cheats on me? People problem.
My project a month an a half late because the previous project said "I dunno and gave up?" (haha you bastards could have written the exact same code im doing now three years ago) People problems.
Taxes? People problems. Family sick or injured or in surgery? People problems.
FORK. I made the same one I used with Reddit. Gol darn it.
I’ll make a new one, probably. I’m already a mod on this account so I’ll just dual wield.

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using an URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !avalanche@lemmy.world
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
You're not "Poem_for_your_sprog" are you? Just made your username "right" this time?
The only thing i miss from reddit…
In case you didn't know, PoppinKream is here on the Fediverse now. That's a good sign that more well-known users could migrate here
...Yeah.
Yikes. We’re in this together now…
Fart gang
Nipple names unite!
Idk, I'd say you nailed it. Lol
Your username is dope though!
I need to rethink my life too

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.
You have definitely provoked my thoughts, mostly thoughts of rage
…and lust?
Porque no los dos?

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

Chad
Too late bro
Definitely great username. Idk waht you're talking about
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?
Man I wish I could choose a username as perfect as yours
i think AssEater9001 might still be free...
IT'S OVER 9000!!!
I'll change it later...
Don't tell me how to live my life.
That would be a cool username
I'm pretty happy with mine.
He's alive! And on lemmy!!
I'm not alive, I'm undead.
I wanted something with no reddit drama attached what so ever
So here's the thing...
You're on the right track! Now just make more of them.
Same here
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
Got mine
Will do!
Where is hot brewed?
Shit
I chuckled.
how did I do?
Pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty good.
omg don't use your real name on the internet
Yours is my favorite here. Clever and subtly suggestive.
Finely aged brandy to the jägerbombs in this thread, like @SatansMaggotyCumFart.
Haha thank you so much! "Finely aged brandy" indeed!

Haha I remember playing the Lemmings game on an Amiga, Lemmy reminds me of that!
I have no regrets
Your name is very thought provoking
Nailed it.
OMG WHAT IS YOUR USERNAME? HOW DID THAT EVEN ORIGINATE?
Can we start a gofundme or something to buy assasins for when people post that question?
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
Fuck spez_
Who will be our RimjobSteve?!
I made the leap to Lemmy from reddit....16 ft through an announcers table
Is it really you?!
Of course it's me.This is the internet man, I can be whoever I want to be
Is... Is it really you?
Oh no
I chose well this time
i use dvorak or quertz so i guess your choice is very legit in your area
Well, fuck.
oh well... there's always next time
But, I am looking forward to changing my political views and recontextualizing my reality from a stirring post by CumFartCocktail :(
I didn't even think about this lol.
God... dammit
Sup
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.
Instead, You can pretend to be someone hot!
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 got this!
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.

Good but . . . itchy
Uhh... I got nothing.

Idk if these accounts exists but...
Hello Brother!
I have just the best username.
Perfectly happy with my username thank you very much
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
I think I did fine
Once you go Barack you never go back!
I had this one in my head for yeaaaaars and I'm so glad I can start from scratch here in the fediverse.
Well this is a bit awkward
Make sure it will stay relevant
Eh I'll be fine.
Reddit couldnt let me reach my full potential. Look at me and tremble!
I just chose my real name.
Same
Take that name out your goddamn mouth!
Wanted PanGalacticGargleBlaster but apparently that was to long. So now I'm probably named like a gay pornstar. Well, it is what it is
..oops
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.
Heck yeah
Still waiting for u/fuckswithducks
Uh oh!
i... failed...

Shit
I made a choice and I stand by it, so should you trouser mouse!
I'm still waiting for our legend rimjob_steve.
I think I smashed it this time
Nice! That's a good one. I also feel good, I feel like I should never have to put a /s next to my comments ever again lol
Alice. Literally just my name
You can change it now if you want! Alice is a good name though, especially since I am a fan of Wonderland.
thank you ! oh damn right it is, i'm completely satisfied with it! Though, the origin of my name comes from something MUCH different than Alice in Wonderland...
Good parenting
I put a typo in my username when I first signed up on Reddit. I got it right this time! I think...
Swing and a miss
Kept the same username I've had for 20+ years.
I always regretted my reddit username, I did better this time (I guess)
You had one shot...and fucking nailed it. Well done boopdepop!
My last one was "AmiawakeWasTaken"... so glad I got here first this time!
I think I did well...
This is true. I wonder if Spez is already taken...
Looks like it is on this server, but that doesn’t stop someone from using that name on the many other servers!
I don't even watch wrestling. Just the idea of an elbow drop is hilarious to me. Like the rocks people elbow.
I actually did watch a WWE thing on Hulu recently. I made it about 22 min. They took a commercial break during the match.
I've been the pope too long to give up now
I love mud and have no ragrets.
You just had to bait them didn’t you?
I always miss these things
I got my name
The best part of Lemmy - can't get your username?join a different server!
Can't wait to see comment threads of people with the same name arguing with each other
Fuck you, you piece of shit.
I can see it now and it's beautiful
Too late. I told my wife I wouldn't use it again because it wasn't the greatest, but don-ju-wan-me-baby?
don-ju-wan-me-ohhhhh
True
I'll have my peas 😡!
it's part of growing up. wear your -69adidas69- user name loud and proud.
I addad an "h" in front.
I'm Batman.
I'm Catman.
I'm manbat https://theoatmeal.com/comics/manbat
Thanks god I can change my display name
For me it was just getting in first so I didn't have to add numbers.
Let ChatGPT decide. Not disappointed.
I don't get it? If your embarrassed by it just make a new one?
I was finally able to get my gamertag as a username. All is good over here at Lemmy
Tbh, my first thought was to use my old one. Then I really went for a fresh start, and actually I like this one better.
Yeah same. I took one of an actual historical person, but it's so niche, you won't find a lot about him, until I've finished writing the Wikipedia entry about him.
I'm just using the same username I use for everything lol
If it aint broke don't fix it
Listen, RUMPLEFORESKIN is not embarrassing, OK? I just didn't want my kids asking about it. Jeeeeze.
I definitely took the time to make sure I was more incognito this time around. 🤣
Too late for that.
I think mine is ok
Sorry that ship sailed
Technically you can have any username you would ever like, just spin up your own instance!
I'm surprised I got this!
I choose to forever cringe at my first chosen name.
fart noises
Oh damn it!!
Yeah no way hose. Changing the name here would be admitting to myself that it was a stupid nickname back then. I mean, i know it was a stupid nickname but admitting it is a step too far.

Don't worry, I just wrote the first name that came to mind while dipping my balls in the shredder
I'm happy with my new username.
I'm happy you're happy.
I knew I should have added "3000" to the end of my lemmy name. DestroyerOfWorlds just sounds so weak now.
My username was Foreskin-Gaming69, don't ask
On the contrary, I want to know everything! Give me the uncut version of the truth.
Nooooow you tell me smh
Rate my username.
I like my new user name.
A wizard does not change his username, he carries it with the same pride or shame that one does of any nickname earned in highschool-college.
A Balls doesn't change their username they leave the shredder right on the end just like their elementary school nickname
Absolutely.
SexWithSilverWolf@lemm.ee 💀
Think I did ok, but does it really matter when I can just create my own instance and choose whatever username I want?
There's also display name separated from username, like mine for example. So it doesn't matter at all, don't even need personal server
My first username from over a decade ago was horrible.
Was it anotherfakehuman?
I should have thought of that.
Eat me.
I was thrilled to find my spirit animal available as a username.
Ahh go on!
...is anyone going to tell everyone about display_name?
I got my username back! I missed it. Got banned from reddit and used some alt for a while.
I like this username. Keeping it.
Some usernames should stay the same though, right?
Anyone comes up in here with random word + random word + random number, we're going to have a fight.
waiting for Reddit’s own isis-blowjob-slave to make an appearance
I eagerly await Lemmy's "u/PM_ME_YOUR_BUTTHOLE" phase, if only so we can get it over with and move on.
My reddit name was based off of a meme from 2009... Funny at the time but boy it certainly showed it's age as time went on.
I nicked one that I liked.
Glad you like it. With a name like that, It's hard to be negative.
I refuse.
How did I do?
#noregrets
At least its something
I regret my Reddit user since it used a slur that I no longer want to associate with but now I also regret this user since I came up with a better one a few days ago
Oh well
I removed the numbers from my username. Because I'm all grown up now.
I’d actually argue that it’s easier to get good names simply because each instance can have its own username pool. For instance, my username could also be used on other instances by other people. Me creating this account doesn’t stop someone from creating the same name elsewhere.
Too late
I was born Kamehameherp, and I will die Kamehameherp.
I just don't like Disney.
who took spez?
That's what I was thinking too. All 11 inches of me.
Mine is good. Hacker name given to me by associates over 24 years ago.
I still used numbers
Ah fuck
I got my first name :)
I don't think my username is embarrassing enough.
Three letter club ftw!
Meh, im too old to learn new patterns. Same username for me
It would have been excellent comedic timing of your username was something stupid like shitsmear69420 or onelongboob1978 or whatever!
(I swear to God, if I see either one of those user names lurking around here I'm going to poop a brick)
I wouldn't enable 2fa yet either there are some bugs, and the code it generated for me didn't work and locked me out of my account for a good bit. I'm not sure why but the 2fa link didn't work for me so I copied the secret out of the url and put it in my authenticator but it never worked. Just fyi.

Taxes? People problems. Family sick or injured or in surgery? People problems.
My username is god honouring thank you very much
The early birds get the 3 letter words
Look, I've had some form of this cringe-ass username for 20 years now, this is just part of who I am now.
Tryin this one out. Let's see how it agee
Too late
Oh well. Maybe on the next Revolution.
Ah fck. Missed it
Totally not a screwup
Huh.
Lol prepare for "PM_ME_[WEIRD_SHIT]".
Hola, Sangria?
I should have taken a super short nick, but alas.
Mine was always perfect
My Reddit name was “ihaveredonme” which is not how British people would say it.
i guess i got this right. this username is banned on reddit lol
Cryptid foot doc checking in.
Its the username I wanted on reddit. Blast whoever had it there, vengeance is mine!
Cool and anonymous enough.
Meh. It's not embarassing if the literature i'm exploring is totally
pornnot porn.Are people this averse to making a new account?
Seems like privacy-oriented Lemmy wouldn't care that much but even Reddit with its karma system wasn't that big of a hurdle to new accounts
Edit: apparently Lemmy DOES actually have a karma system
Well, I'm much happier with this one than my old reddit one anyway.
I'm a 2023 Ford pinto
Embarrassing?
I like mine.
Still unable to.
I barely changed mine but I heard that you can't trust someone with boy in their name and also I grew older so it was time to change mine.
Oh my username screwed all night alright. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
It's how I've chosen to see myself from this day on.
I am content with good enough.
What app is closest to RIF?
Jeroba is dope so far
Jerboa works well since last lemmy update which reduced the amount of packets needed.
Anyone who gets the obscure reference in my name wins nothing
I’m just happy I didn’t need to add a number to mine
Yo yo!
FORK. I made the same one I used with Reddit. Gol darn it.
I’ll make a new one, probably. I’m already a mod on this account so I’ll just dual wield.
