    Some people call me by my username ("reiver") when they meet me in person.

    To me, it is as much my name as my given-names are.

    ...

    When I consider signing up for a new platform β€” if my preferred username isn't available, I often won't join.

    ...

    Which never used to be a problem β€” as it is an obscure English word using its archaic spelling β€”

    But, there are a lot more people on the Internet now, than there were two or more decades ago. So sometimes it gets taken by someone else.

    I'll just replace "girlfriend" with "wife" since I am married β€”

    Nothing happens. My wife knows me well. There isn't anything I think would surprise her.

  • @HughJanus @Lazycog

    Do you recall which Firefish servers you tried (that were having stability problems)?

  • @cygnusvelum

    Yes.

    There isn't much that could make me not want to have kids.

    ...

    I actually already have children. It is one of the best things I have ever done in my life.

  • @nivenkos @Ransom

    Ha! πŸ™‚ β€” I did that too back in the day.

    But only to friends, as a joke.

    This was back before e-mail spam was a thing.

    It is all automatic.

    You maintain the same relationship after the move.

    If you just followed them, but they didn't follow you β€” that continues after the move.

    If they just followed you, but you didn't follow them β€” that continues after the move.

    If you followed each other β€” that continues after the move.

    It is all automatic.

    ...

    As a user, if someone who follows you moves their account, you see that as a new follow in your notifications.

  • @Euraru

    Yes β€” assuming it is safe β€” I have a family to support and care for (so have to think of them, too).

    I want to see what's there β€” and see it first hand for myself.

    Similar reason why I travel to different parts of the world to see things.

    I think this is more than just curiosity.

  • @hitmyspot @hotmilky

    That is what happens on Mastodon now when someone moves their account from one server to another β€” you get a notification of them following you from the other server.
