Did you ever wanna have a username but it was taken? Us early adopters to the fediverse can now freely choose nice, untaken usernames!
Let that sink in. We have the luxury and freedom to nearly choose any username we want. without having to add unnecessary underscores or numbers.
Thats nice.

I’m the king of the Valar, so that’s pretty cool 😄
They told me I could become anything so I became a bee
I got my ideal name lol.
But I don’t think it matters - a unique username is only special when we’re on a singular centralized server where usernames have to be unique. When a good chunk of the content is being viewed back and forth across many different server instances, everybody is seeing a lot of everyone else’s names with “username@instance-domain”, which kind of is the “unnecessary underscores or numbers” because the host server is what makes our usernames unique.
If anything, our usernames mean even less than they did before, and that’s OK!
I can’t tell you how happy I was that this name hadn’t been taken, I’ve had it in the back of my mind for years for a bit of a giggle and I’m so happy with it.
Hahaha oh my god I love it!
i got to be mishamouse instead of mishamau5, so i don’t have to look like i’m stuck in my dubstep/leetspeak phase anymore.
What are you implying??
The sdc-prefix doesn’t mean anything to me anymore but after all these years, I feel naked without it.
