I don’t need to remember my username. Nor do I need to identify with it. In my ideal world, being online would be completely anonymous, with absolutely no way for the government to censor or identify a person. But we don’t live in an ideal world. So to make it harder for groups like Palantir or the FBI to identify me, I compartmentalize all my digital activity. New names and identities for every service I use. No contact or overlap between them.
Well I respect that, absolutely. I just don’t think I could do it.
And I don’t know, I guess I have a hard time letting go of reputation, like as a general concept. If you don’t retain some identity online, you lose that aspect of reputation.
I used Bitwarden to generate a random word plus a number.
Hey me too!
Does that not strike you as boring?
Like do you identify in any way with that moniker?
I feel like I would forget my username.
