I saw someone with “inner-child-abortion-clinic” on tumblr.
Saw a UrethraFranklin on reddit I think
I feel so validated!
Definitely not mine. First, too many people don’t actually pay attention to realize it’s not “fuck” and surprisingly too few people get the joke considering Lemmy is so Linux crazy. But most frustratingly, people just assume I’m an asshole because of it and then treat me like I am. Sometimes I really regret it.
Telling people to filesystem check isn’t cool, man. Instead, we should coach them to switch to a journaling or CoW filesystem.
Well I think you’re cool. It’s the kind of inside joke that makes me feel foolishly self congratulatory for getting it
Thanks. That’s nice to hear. Being “cool” isn’t as important to me as not being interpreted as someone intending to be an asshole. I wish people assumed the opposite, instead. I may come off like an asshole, but my intent is the opposite and I want to spread happiness and knowledge. I’m just bad at conveying my intent and meaning.
My personal favorite is [email protected]
Oh, yoo-hoo, @[email protected]!
What’s up?
I love your username, but not as much as your accent.
Kind of similar to your own, there.
No theirs has humor, class and sophistication.
Yours was the first I thought of after reading the question…
Unless you are specifying a mailto link, you need to preface the username with @ to mention them, i.e @[email protected]
Thanks.
I was attempting to say the name without mentioning them directly.
To this day, I remember from probably twenty years ago or more seeing something on SomethingAwful that included the name “HPHovercraft” and it’s just the greatest. I’ll never forget it.
I don’t get it?
Is this a question? Is the answer no?
I remember a guild called Two Maidens and Chalice. Can’t remember the game, but t’was funny.
Don’t try to win me over with your use of t’was.
T’wasn’t trying to.
Margot Robbie used to be around here
She was an extremely active user here, despite being a busy Academy Award nominated actress. I assume she’s busy filming her next movie, or maybe in talks to do Barbie 2.
Such a shame because she was actively involved in the Fediverse. We need more Academy Award nominated character actors and actresses to join. Then this place would really take off.
@[email protected], not sure if you’re still filming out of the country but drop a line here if you can take a break from your busy schedule!
there’s no way this is legit
Are you calling Academy Award-winning actress Margot Robbie a liar!?
My brother, when he was playing Overwatch back then, was killed by someone called Kim Jong Skillz
Ran across a Hunter back in my WoW days named Bowjob. Had a good laugh.
For tumblr, that username is cute. For LinkedIn, it would be brilliant.
I think your user name is pretty freaking clever, too. Nice job!
thanks!
I think the first person to use an obfuscated name like lIiḷ|ḷiIl was pretty clever.
This has me really curious about the most obfuscated, ambiguous/difficult/problematic possible usernames both for security/privacy and interesting anomalies in general.
Feel like one could make a whole book on this – please send any resources that could shed insight if possibleI don’t know what technically constitutes the most troublesome username, but surely some of the kaomoji Japanese folks have come up with are up there. Good luck trying to type these.
ଘ(੭ˊᵕˋ)੭ ੈ♡‧₊˚
You have me curious to know more. I already know some Japanese from being a weeb, but could you explain what makes your example so difficult to type specifically? I only recognize one of the many symbols used
I wonder if you can break copy-paste by mixing in similar looking characters from a right-to-left language.
Actually a security concern for the web: IDN homograph attack
Iirc this was also an issue for hacks on the computer as well. Something about naming it pdf but it was actually an exe because they used right to left. Something like that

Reanu Keeves
You’re treathbaking! You’re all treathbaking!
Sounds familiar. I think I saw him in Skyrim a few times.
Hey name sibling!
UGetzNoBunz
I like @[email protected]
Right back at ya.
Yours is pretty good, actually.
Most names I see here are just references or trying to be ultra edgy and offensive (SatansMaggotyCumFart for example). They might be memorable, but I wouldn’t say they are creative.
Not many people have puns or even well done portmanteaus for usernames. 😔
I have seen yours the most. It’s not the most creative but it’s definitely the most eye catching from all big Lemmy posters.
Would it be more creative knowing the origin?
It’s my two dogs’ names combined. Loki and Kona. But I also misspelled it and the KOLA should have been a KOLO. KOloNAki.
How did you put a couloured spiral in your name though?
Display name can use emojis and other special characters.
It’s definitely fun to know that.
For me creative would be more like when something makes me giggle but only after reading it twice.
That’s worrying for someone who was on yiffit
Only if you’re a weirdo who incorrectly assumes all furries are zoophiles.
I thought yiff referred to the zoophile furries?
It is just a shorthand for furry porn/slang for having sex in general.
Isn’t that zoophilia?
Mine’s not clever, just an NPC I made for an old GURPS game I ran ages ago that I’ve since used as my handle online. Frustratingly there’s some guy in Italy who claimed it as their Steam name though so that’s the one place I couldn’t use it lol
FYI: your display name on steam doesn’t have to be your login name and it doesn’t need to be unique (but if you join a game with someone using the same name, whoever joins last will have a number appended to the end of it). You can change it whenever you want from the edit profile page.
Fark had a “Terrified Asexual Forcemeat” back in the day and that was…memorable
