Do you have a single username you feel attached to?
Or do you like to use different names for different occasions?
Edit two and a half days later:
Thank you all for answering my question! It was so interesting and fun to read all of your responses.
I really appreciate you for taking the time to write.
I used to be attached to my username, it was unique enough to be used everywhere. I used it in the mindset of creating an online presence, so my friends recognize me in other games and such, but then slowly realized it makes you very DOXable and vulnerable in general.
Nowadays I use one username per hobby, except gaming. I want you to be able to find other stuff I created in that specific space, but I don’t want you to find out everything about me.
EDIT: Also, my username was too unique, if you googled it, you would get hundreds of results, and almost all of them were me… Random accounts on sites, forum posts, etc.
Seems like you and I had a similar mindset when we made our Lemmy accounts
