I've changed mine. Not that my previous name was embarrassing in any way, but I just wanted to change my name.

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted, clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts: 1
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report the message goes away and you never worry about it.

My time has…come.
I never learn..
Too late 😔
Did this, since you can't change reddit usernames. But since I'm new to the fediverse, I did take a long time dithering over which instance I should register on.
i'm using my original reddit username on lemmy, it got shadow banned without explanation over a decade ago, so i created a different one which became my main account, now with over half a million comment karma, stopped writing stuff on that site 2 weeks ago
I'm quite happy with mine :D
Getting MSN vibes from this one
I was thinking Yahoo
I used my real first name (15 year old account) so I'll be glad to finally use a fictional name

I’m good with mine still 😂
I've always had trouble coming up with good user names, I think I lack imagination. Most of the time I just use my given first name plus my following two initials.
I actually came up with something for my Reddit account. I'm using the same one here I did on Reddit, except I have to spell the "-" special character since Lemmy won't take it. Reddit took the dash, but not the asterisk. I like my new one better actually. For those not Unix operating system aware, my user name (rm -r *) means "delete the world".
Someone swiped my username here.
Got it right this time then!
I chose the same one because I got attached.......
GOD DAMN It!!! What was I thinking?!? It’s to late 😑
Too late =(
No regrets!
