Since it's all based on federated servers I doubt taken usernames will ever become the same problem as on centralized platforms. After all, you can simply register a username taken on one server on another. You could even host your own server and have unlimited new usernames etc.

I fucked up and used the same name
I would never have been able to be just Gabe on reddit. It's nice.
This was the name I was trying to sign up for reddit with years ago, but there was a 9yr+ old unused account squatting on it, forcing me to 1337 mine up. It is nice.
I got root
Tell me about it!
You could have been Danny69 though. So close to greatness.
Damn! Maybe next time!
My man!
Early adopter of a particular instance? Sure.
Someone can still grab the same name and post from another instance.
They told me I could become anything so I became a bee

And with multiple domains, if it's taken one place it might not be another.
I didn't even think, I just used the same as my reddit one.
Which is fine, I have 99 on everything else, being just gk would be weird.
i got to be mishamouse instead of mishamau5, so i don’t have to look like i’m stuck in my dubstep/leetspeak phase anymore.

That has admittedly been my petty joy in jumping ship. Sparkly new, like untrodden snow.
This is my preferred username. My reddit name is similar, but not the same, because this was taken there.
Finally no dashes or underscores!
My username is usually available everywhere and I'm content with it, but I'm happy for you guys
Here's the downside, your username will be remade on another instance exactly as it is here. Unless you make your username everywhere. So it's kinda like having [email protected] but someone else has [email protected]. I think there are probably some super autistic people that might grab their nicks on every big server currently lol
lol probably. but i found my main community here i can still interact with all the others. So why even care ^^
Yeah that's why you gotta be an original individual.
