More often than not, the best way to hide is to simply blend in with the crowds – this also encompasses one’s choice for a username. It is relatively simple to make a single throwaway account – just come up with a username, and off you go – however, if one makes throwaway accounts often, the task of thinking of a unique, and non-identifiable username can become a challenge. I would argue that poeple would often resort to using a pattern employing small changes for all subsequent usernames. Such patterns can be identified to a specific user if all users have their own unique patterns.

How can one reliably generate many unique-but-normal, and non-pattern-identifiable usernames?

    Use a password generator in a password manager for the username AND password. Bitwarden is free.

    Use a temporary email for email signups. getnada.com works fine, but so do many others.

      Skiff is great. They even generate an @random.maskmy.id so you can type anything before @. It’s nothing new but great since you can set 5 static aliases also.
