This nickname, with quite a bit of gymnastics, can be traced back to some really horrible things I did as an 8 to 13 year old with an internet connection. That, as well as a vkontakte (yes, really) account complete with a full “voluntary” doxx. Probably shouldn’t have mentioned that but oh well.
Oh, and also a few occasional identity leaks here and there, most recent one being last year out of peer pressure in an organization that literally lied to me about deleting my data.
Now, should I just genuinely start over? Maybe have a separate name for IRL stuff and abandon online friends. But people might recognize the slang I use, and my setup from screenshots… And how will I ever live without the specific 6 person IRC chatrooms now… And the very specific targeted shitposts I made over the years… AAAAAAAAA Or maybe just embrace it and become a public figure under my real name. Somehow…
EDIT: down voters, please specify why you are down voting, thanks
It’s… already partially unintentionally true. One name for IRC and forums (plus stuff prompted by said forums), one for a browser game or two, and this one for everything else. Although are you suggesting I should literally use a random nickname generator for each service? What if I want to cross reference something across them? Also, would imagine multitasking being one hell of a pain. I mean, I can spawn multiple Tor Browser instances and stuff, but then have to make sure I am doing the intended thing in each one. I am a bit of a “social chameleon” and I am already struggling with just using only the correct inside jokes with someone…
