Did you reuse your Reddit name or create a new one? (kbin.social)

I originally went with the same name but have been using this one now since it's new and the idea of starting fresh appeals to me.

My initial thought was to reuse my existing name so others who already knew me might see that I'm here since we never communicated outside of the given subs we were apart of. I'm not sure how likely that would actually be though. It's not as if I was anyone popular or well known. So, my thinking is I'll stick with my new one and move on.

What have you chosen to do? Start fresh or carry your username over?

Reused the name of my FFXIV character, along with a pointer to job. I've had a few names on Reddit, and lots all over the place. I've been using the internet a long time, and being exactly the same always would be boring.

Really? I find my online pseudonym/alias/nick has become a part of me. Sometimes I have to use a version of it, if it’s taken, but I’ve been Khab for ages, it’d feel weird to be called something else.
