And here I thought making a default username looking one was a good idea…

I don’t know about that. I now stick to default names after HR told my department to help them identify some leakers on reddit.

Cutesy auto generated names are too useful for bots, the lazy, and fans of cutesy name combos.

Should have made defaults your approximate IP geolocation. I’m kidding of course for privacy reasons, but a little similar motivation to think about a better name during creation couldn’t hurt (looking at Reddit here).

Edit: but hey - maybe it’s not desirable for one to be able to distinguish users. I wonder… nah, Reddit would never… 😒
