Considering I went through the trouble of setting up my own instance but kept my usual name, I'm feeling just a little called out here...

And you didn't even go for ubergeek69
You had all the choices in the world, all
just used this random generated username from my password manager π
Oh nice idea!
Have you considered that the number might be part of the username?
Oh definitely, and sometimes there is a reason behind it! So I made this post asking why!
One of my username contains a 9 because I was 9 when I created that username lol. Rarely use it anymore though since it contains references to my real name
Youβre making me reconsider my choice
I tend to drop the numbers when the base name is available, but I know a lot of friends go for consistency across platforms and the number helps ensure itβll be available on any new platform they come to
Ahaha, good question
