I also prefer “screen name”, because the only other industry that uses the term “user” are drug dealers. Which I suppose is fitting given how addictive Social Media is programmed to be. · 2 years ago
Aren't the two things ever-so-slightly different? Username being the name you use to log in, while screen name is the name that's displayed.

I like ‘username’ because it marks the person with their proper status as a computer user · 2 years ago
