I’ve been seeing a lot of usernames formatted “[lowercase][fourdigits]” or “user-[randomletternumbers]”.
Normally, I’d assume that that just means the name was already taken and the numbers are manually entered to make it unique, but the formatting is too consistent. Is that something google is doing automatically?
The other one is real weird. Is that something some proxy sites are doing for anonymous posting?
user224 in here. I just made a mistake.
Firstly, I only wanted to test out SDF.org without wasting my username, but somebody decided to verify me out of their good heart. Then SDF.org announced their Lemmy instance. I didn’t know what Lemmy is, so I used my SDF username.
I can’t change it now.
