I don’t mean my username! Yours!

I guess this is more of a game and maybe not strictly the right place. But, the idea is to make a top level reply with you asking ‘guess’ or saying ‘:)’ or what have you, and everyone else should answer what they think the username means or refers to, without looking any words or concepts up! Off the cuff, what do you think it means when you see this person’s username?

Not sure about the mobile apps, but if you hover over someone’s name in Lemmy it will show their username if they have a display name set. My username is quite boring and straightforward, but I like seeing other people’s weird usernames especially on semi-anon places.

Bonus: What do you visually think when you read it? Even if you misread it as a typo, what did you imagine when you read it & saw their avatar?

      A mailer-daemon that gained sentience (became lucid).

        Close! Thought the word lucid was cool and am nerdy with servers, so I chose daemon as it relates to my hobby/career.

        More or less a realistic kernel service.

        Honestly thought it sounded cool, like a realistic kernel service.
