Did you reuse your Reddit name or create a new one? (kbin.social)

I originally went with the same name but have been using this one now since it's new and the idea of starting fresh appeals to me.

My initial thought was to reuse my existing name so others who already knew me might see that I'm here since we never communicated outside of the given subs we were apart of. I'm not sure how likely that would actually be though. It's not as if I was anyone popular or well known. So, my thinking is I'll stick with my new one and move on.

What have you chosen to do? Start fresh or carry your username over?

New name, I always preferred the anonymity of reddit, even if you could technically trace someone with enough post history. So, starting with a new name starts that tracing who I am fresh. After 9 years of Reddit, I am sure my old name had a lot of info about me as a whole.

Twist: your old username was RegularWolf. :p
