I’m satisfied with mine and I use it everywhere. How about you?

    It’s fine. I don’t prioritize personally-relevant usernames. Using the same username across multiple platforms just makes it easier for data brokers and stalkers to make connections. Most of my usernames are the result of 20 seconds of thought related to some piece of media I have been consuming.

    When I picked this one, I was reading about psychopomps in various cultures. This figure was one I hadn’t read about before and I figured it would make for a nice, unique handle.

      I often get mine by using a FIPS-181-compliant pronounceable password generator, apg.

      $ apg -n8
      cepKopBic
      emEsugJi
      mygpheaj
      godPond8
      DytekHubNi
      chamhopp
      CoHuotsyo
      NupajHeOv
      

      On the Threadiverse, though, since the namespace was so unpopulated, figured, “eh, what the heck, be nice to have a short one”. Might rotate it at some point; I did go through a number on Reddit.
