I'm satisfied with mine and I use it everywhere. How about you?

yes, but this is a permutation.

[–] Oka@sopuli.xyz 3 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

I created one that stuck in 2009 or so. Used it up until last year, when I realized the old one was stale / I grew out of it.

So I'm Oka now, where available, and allow 3 character names.

I have a mile long document of yet to be used ideas for song titles, synth patch names, lyric ideas, what have you...

I just harvested from that. It works.

One is never satisfied, as I'm assuming you know. I have plans to swap some out, but my current lineup includes:

Novation Peak Casio CZ-1 Novation Ultranova Radikal Technologies Delta Cep-A Dreadbox Abyss Polyend Tracker and a couple other supplemental pieces

If you're a gearhound yourself I wouldn't mind a look into your setup if you care to oblige.

[–] atrielienz@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

I only use this name for specific accounts usually for the purposes of social media. I have a different user name and account/email etc for everything else. But this nickname was given to me by a friend so yes. I'm happy with it.

[–] Mothra@mander.xyz 3 points 5 months ago

Yes of course, but also like many others I always pick a different name for each platform.

[–] OceanSoap@lemmy.ml 3 points 5 months ago

I dunno, but it sounds nice.

[–] FunderPants@lemmy.ca 3 points 5 months ago

Quite happy.

[–] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 2 points 5 months ago

It is good enough.

[–] DosDude@retrolemmy.com 2 points 5 months ago

I think it embodies my interest.

[–] CaptainBasculin@lemmy.ml 2 points 5 months ago

I used to try taking Basculin as much as I could as jt was my first shiny pokemon, but on a lot of occasions the name got slipped from me by Pokemon fans. So I took CaptainBasculin. No complaints so far.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 2 points 5 months ago

I wish it could be a full rainbow and now just blue.

[–] grasshopper_mouse@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

I would have preferred "ScreamingGrasshopperMouse", but it was too many characters long, so what I have now will have to do.

[–] 30p87@feddit.org 2 points 5 months ago

It's free, everwhere. Except where my 11 year old self, creating a Minecraft account for the first time and inventing the name, already registered and forgot the PW.

[–] sga@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

yes, it was my "gamer" name a long time ago, and due to small(ish) size of fediverse, i get it easily, it is either sga, or some combination of sga and 13

[–] IMALlama@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Fun fact: user names are instance specific, so someone could grab any of our user names on a different instance. Think of it as having sga@gmail.com and someone grabs sga@yahoo.com.

And even if it was gone, display name can be different than username. Making it both more and less anonymous and more and less secure.

[–] graphene@lemm.ee 2 points 5 months ago

Not the username I normally use, but I like it

[–] madjo@feddit.nl 2 points 5 months ago

It’s been with me for decades now. I couldn’t think of a different one to save my life.

[–] xc2215x@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago
[–] Achugodblessme@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago
[–] stelelor@lemmy.ca 1 points 5 months ago

I like mine (duh) but also switch it up on different platforms. I'm much more averse to being recognized on the internet now.

[–] TheBraveSirRobbin@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

I like mine
