Update: The person on the archive removed it!

They're not my accounts! We share usernames.

No, since the archive still exists it doesn't accomplish anything sadly

I don't think I'll go that far considering all the responses here.

Since the universal response seems to be that I'd be fine (not a single person said I'd be screwed or deal with much setback) I'm trying my best not to worry about it now.

Are you saying you personally would be paranoid, or that I should be paranoid?

It's not my reddit account. It's someone else with the same username as me

RIP my dreams of getting a zoan and becoming a giraffe

Normally I'd think so, but my name is very uncommon. Like I'm the only one with my first name in my city on linkedin.

I did change it, but googling my actual name brings up my old one on some archival site.

rather not disclose that, sorry

Scared (programming.dev)
 

I'm extremely scared my career is fucked. My GitHub username is linked to my real identity. However if someone were to search my username up, the reddit profile of someone who posts regularly on porn subs and tweets inflammatory political shit appears.

Searching my name brings up that GitHub. I changed my username on GitHub, but searching my name still shows some Chinese github archival site that links me and my old GitHub name together. I tried emailing the admin and he won't remove it. There's no plausible deniability because that site also lists my projects.

My name is also very unique. I'm so scared. This has been stressing me out for the past few weeks.
