honestly, we need to bring back the word "screen name", it's so much cooler than "username"

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.

Usernames need to be unique but screen names don't. · 2 years ago

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