Definitely not mine. First, too many people don't actually pay attention to realize it's not "fuck" and surprisingly too few people get the joke considering Lemmy is so Linux crazy. But most frustratingly, people just assume I'm an asshole because of it and then treat me like I am. Sometimes I really regret it.
Well I think you're cool. It's the kind of inside joke that makes me feel foolishly self congratulatory for getting it
Thanks. That's nice to hear. Being "cool" isn't as important to me as not being interpreted as someone intending to be an asshole. I wish people assumed the opposite, instead. I may come off like an asshole, but my intent is the opposite and I want to spread happiness and knowledge. I'm just bad at conveying my intent and meaning.
My personal favorite is [email protected]
Yours was the first I thought of after reading the question…
Kind of similar to your own, there.
No theirs has humor, class and sophistication.
Unless you are specifying a mailto link, you need to preface the username with @ to mention them, i.e @[email protected]
Thanks.
I was attempting to say the name without mentioning them directly.
I remember a guild called Two Maidens and Chalice. Can’t remember the game, but t’was funny.
Don't try to win me over with your use of t'was.
T’wasn’t trying to.
To this day, I remember from probably twenty years ago or more seeing something on SomethingAwful that included the name “HPHovercraft” and it’s just the greatest. I’ll never forget it.

Ran across a Hunter back in my WoW days named Bowjob. Had a good laugh.

Margot Robbie used to be around here
She was an extremely active user here, despite being a busy Academy Award nominated actress. I assume she’s busy filming her next movie, or maybe in talks to do Barbie 2.
Such a shame because she was actively involved in the Fediverse. We need more Academy Award nominated character actors and actresses to join. Then this place would really take off.
@[email protected], not sure if you’re still filming out of the country but drop a line here if you can take a break from your busy schedule!

My brother, when he was playing Overwatch back then, was killed by someone called Kim Jong Skillz

Similarly, quetzaldilla.
For tumblr, that username is cute. For LinkedIn, it would be brilliant.
I think the first person to use an obfuscated name like lIiḷ|ḷiIl was pretty clever.
This has me really curious about the most obfuscated, ambiguous/difficult/problematic possible usernames both for security/privacy and interesting anomalies in general.
Feel like one could make a whole book on this -- please send any resources that could shed insight if possible
I don’t know what technically constitutes the most troublesome username, but surely some of the kaomoji Japanese folks have come up with are up there. Good luck trying to type these.

You have me curious to know more. I already know some Japanese from being a weeb, but could you explain what makes your example so difficult to type specifically? I only recognize one of the many symbols used

Yours is pretty good, actually.
Most names I see here are just references or trying to be ultra edgy and offensive (SatansMaggotyCumFart for example). They might be memorable, but I wouldn't say they are creative.
Not many people have puns or even well done portmanteaus for usernames. 😔
I have seen yours the most. It's not the most creative but it's definitely the most eye catching from all big Lemmy posters.

League of legends player named Fizz on my Jayce. Crass but clever.
Back when I was playing World of Tanks, there were plenty of quite interesting nicknames. Unfortunately, most I remember were in my non-english language, but there were some international like Hairy Spotter, IPutTheFunInFuneral or 10InchInColdWater.
FrenchEnglishFish, Cumuffins, Organic-CPU. All user names of my boyfriend
