For a while I was using the same username for everything, but recently I've been trying to mix it up.

Context: Currently picking my new username for Signal and I'm not sure what to put. I don't want spam, and I use Signal for privacy, but I could also do something nice. First name? Randomly generated?

I never use the same username across systems. That would make correlation way too easy.
