Me too, buddy

Now that Reddit’s been made obsolete,

Our new usernames can be discreet

So, make your name right

The future looks bright

You're not "Poem_for_your_sprog" are you? Just made your username "right" this time?

So you’re saying you don’t want insightful, thoughtful comments from u/rimjob_steve this time around?

[–] [email protected] 50 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Granted I need to figure out how to browse communities….but if there isn’t a Lemmy version of /r/rimjob_steve we definitely need to make one. That never got old for me.

Edit: I went ahead and created the community! Find it here!

Couldn't get the username you wanted? It's probably available on another federated instance.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 year ago

I don’t want to get crabs on any instance

Completely understand why people would want to change their names. But why mess with perfection in my case?

But, I am looking forward to changing my political views and recontextualizing my reality from a stirring post by CumFartCocktail :(

I don't understand on why on a website where you can be anyone that you would choose to be something gross.

That would have been waaaay funnier if it came from an account named sexybabyboy92

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (6 children)

I made sure not to use my real name this time. I had too much karma when I realized how dumb a move that was.
