The only bad part about the fediverse, imho, it’s hard to be the only one with your username. What makes it bad is a malicious user, that you may have pissed off somehow, start using your username in a smear campaign to hurt your reputation.
The key is to not attempt to foster a reputation in anonymous social media
True. I try to stay anonymous. But that doesn’t work on all social medias. Take Facebook for example, they show all that info in your profile allowing haters to hate
Facebook is not anonymous social media. It's spyware to the max
This is true, yet no one wants to listen to reality
You are the only user with the username
Efwis@lemmy.zip. Nobody else can have that username.But, Efwls@lemmy.zip?
I don't understand the question.
Capital I and lowercase l look alike.
It's a play on that joke.
This is true, just like I have an ml account too. But I wouldn’t put past someone to create another account on another instance with efwis and start some shit because I hurt their feelings. So far that hasn’t been an issue but there is a first time. Especially since the username doesn’t show what instance your’re on on the feeds
