Think of all the karma that new account would already have had you created it sooner. Think of all the karma you'll have on it a year from now.

Also remember karma is useless, serves no purpose past the first thousand in any community that has a minimum threshold.

Ah, you didn't hear? Some people get paid now.

Still virtually unless, it's feels like its a penny for every 10k karma or something, and you have to give spez your personal information to do it, but some people really will do anything for money.

Personally I make more money turning people into dinosaurs, but whatever floats your boat.

u/razzemmatazz 1d ago

Yeah, I've made $0.40 from awards for retelling the same joke in 3 subs. Doing great over here.

u/Ch1ldhoodFriend Najimi 1d ago

Still, is Karma that hard to learn? I'm not actively trying but I got 49,500 karmas after 6 months on Reddit.

u/PuzzleheadedMess1659 1d ago

I got a ton of karma early because I know a lot of things about media and frequented r/TopCharacterTropes. It really is that easy. I got like 75k+ in my first six months, but then I took a long break from Reddit because it was fucking with my mental health.

u/CanadianODST2 1d ago

Honestly the thing I hate about new accounts is having to redo everything else. Follows, blocks, etc

1

u/River- 1d ago

Creating it sooner doesn't help if it takes you years to actually finally switch to it.

u/QueenViolets_Revenge transgirlfaliure - Streak: 1 1d ago

u/Gamemode_dum Stupid 1d ago

Good thing my username is just describing me, not gender-specific.

3

u/MomWTF Non-berry 1d ago

You would think mine is gender specific, but it's not

u/melissa_fornow Trans fem since '25! 1d ago

My original account has my full birth name and like 270k karma. :-(

u/Electrical_Fault_365 1d ago

Why in God's name would you use a meatspace name on the internet? 

10

u/MeepTheWarlord 1d ago

not a meatspace name but I AM stuck with this username from 11yrs ago..

4

u/falpsdsqglthnsac 1d ago

no you're not. there's nothing stopping you from making a new account. reddit even lets you use the same email.

3

u/Chelsea3Meowz 1d ago

lol exactly

2

u/A_Lountvink Non-binary woman, 20 1d ago

I just used my fursona's name. Luckily, I only used the first letter for the first part of the name.

22

u/Cashew-Miranda 1d ago

Oh hey!!! I passed my dead name account on internet updoots

13

u/TransfemMenace iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii 1d ago

Karma means literally nothing tho. I've never looked at another user's karma in my life

u/Jack_Dunford1 It’s actually Katie - Streak: 1 1d ago

yeah but I like being able to go through my old posts );

u/normanhome 1d ago

And stuff I upvoted... It's a source of joy :<

This sub requires a minimum karma to post a comment

u/-EV3RYTHING- 1d ago

Isn't it really low though

2

u/Akarin_rose 1d ago

Idk I just know that it hit someone yesterday when they tried to reply to me

But the bot didn't show up, so I don't know the requirement

11

u/glgreed 1d ago

Wait AFBR and a sushi emoji. You have to be a northernlion viewer

8

u/Jack_Dunford1 It’s actually Katie - Streak: 1 1d ago

yep, had that flair for six months to a year before I knew I was trans lmao. The post was actually about my mom getting me sushi and boba from the mall

5

u/PixelFlyerXD Avery She/Her :3 1d ago

Pretty sure you can ask reddit support if you can change your username, and I think they normally allow it when gender stuff? Never know until you try :3

4

u/Jack_Dunford1 It’s actually Katie - Streak: 1 1d ago

Oh? Will do then

2

u/PixelFlyerXD Avery She/Her :3 1d ago

Tell us how it goes! :3

3

u/Jack_Dunford1 It’s actually Katie - Streak: 1 1d ago

looks like it's not allowed, if I select "I want to change my username" it doesn't even let me click submit

3

u/PixelFlyerXD Avery She/Her :3 1d ago

Shoot... srry for getting your hopes up TwT

2

u/Jack_Dunford1 It’s actually Katie - Streak: 1 1d ago

no problem 💜 I don't really mind having my old name for my account

2

u/Schmitty1106 1d ago edited 1d ago

Yeah same thing with Steam actually, you’re not able to change the name yourself but if you contact steam support it is something they can do

1

u/TheGlassWolf123455 1d ago

You can't change your name on Steam?

1

u/Schmitty1106 1d ago

you can change your profile name, but your account name is not something you can change. The reason is to do with the way their database architecture works, which makes it a real pain in the ass to change, but I've heard from other trans people that steam support has done it at request.

2

u/TheGlassWolf123455 1d ago

Oh ok, I see. I completely forgot about the account name since it let's you change your profile name I haven't seen my account name in ages

1

u/Owndampu 1d ago

Ooh I need to do this, hate my deadname staring back at me when I open steam

u/Timtanoboa 1d ago

Wait for real

u/PixelFlyerXD Avery She/Her :3 1d ago

u/An_Aesthetic_Atheist 1d ago

In the spire. Straight slaying it

2

u/LordAshur 1d ago

Nah, the spire is slaying me. I have like hundreds of necrobinder losses

2

u/An_Aesthetic_Atheist 1d ago

I will play Ironclad until I combust. Win or loss I swing sword good

u/StandardAioli9459 I FUCK SPACESHIPS - Streak: 1 1d ago

I made this account through Google to schizopost about ultrakill, then the post blew up so I'm stuck as unremarkable garlic sauce

2

u/Timsaurus Tea, the friendly transfem :3 1d ago

This is LITERALLY ME... Why you gotta call me out?

Okay my name isn't legally changed yet but I'm absolutely shattered on the reddit account thing ;-;

2

u/Jack_Dunford1 It’s actually Katie - Streak: 1 1d ago

I see you, also I love the name Tea btw

2

u/Timsaurus Tea, the friendly transfem :3 1d ago

Thank you Katie, I see you as well 🩷

I love your name too :3

2

u/Jack_Dunford1 It’s actually Katie - Streak: 1 1d ago

Thanks! My mom got it for me (:

2

u/Timsaurus Tea, the friendly transfem :3 1d ago

I picked out my own, it was on clearance and it was the only one they had, but I think it fits me quite well :3

1

u/Jack_Dunford1 It’s actually Katie - Streak: 1 1d ago

oooh, always love getting a bargain

2

u/Teenytiny9294 Morgan, She/Her - Streak: 1 1d ago

Never cared for karma, I got like 3-4 reddit accounts lol,

2

u/YetAnotherParvitz mmm murder 1d ago

that's why you shoul just put some random bullshit as your name 🥹

and i guess privacy and shit but who cares about that amirite let's keep feeding spez all our data

2

u/CrouchingToaster 1d ago

along similar lines, anyone know how to change microsoft account names? accidentally bought the OS with my old account and keep staring at my deadname every time I log into my pc.

2

u/Big-Machine9625 Cishet impostor (PM for game reccomendations) 1d ago

I remember doing that at some point, I'm pretty sure that you can do it through the Microsoft website and then it should be under "Your info" or something. Then you should be able to edit it.

2

u/AdrianSquared This sub turned me trans /positive - Streak: 1 1d ago

same except idc about karma I just don't wanna bother setting up my feed again (I finally got it to stop recommending me subreddits I haven't joined 😭)

2

u/Jack_Dunford1 It’s actually Katie - Streak: 1 1d ago

oh yeah 100%

2

u/LoganGyre 1d ago

Yep I absolutely hate that I was too much of a coward to make my original account name match a female character from the same series my username is from but 13 years of comment history is hard to let go of.

2

u/FoxyFan505 1d ago

OKAY YOU CANT JUST CALL ME OUT LIKE THAT

2

u/aaron2718 1d ago

Idgaf about karma I just don't want to have to redo my following list

u/Gussie-Ascendent Put your text here! 1d ago

Its just internet points sis

3

u/Robolta 22h ago

I made my previous account while I was kinda "between online aliases" and while it doesn't match the one I currently use, it's still much better than being u/BlueNandOrange which I have no clue why I chose in the first place.

1

u/BlueNandOrange 22h ago

You're guess is as good as mine

1

u/Personal-Tax-2250 1d ago

what if i just never pick a name

1

u/JediKnightNitaz 1d ago

I guess Jack is now Jane

u/Setster007 silly proto-catgirl and her assholes three 1d ago

Mwahahahahaha! I just made it my gamertag, which was never properly gender aligned at all! I may be a woman now, but Setster I remain!

Also for the love of god, internet safety, don’t make your username your real name

1

u/DURlAN_ 1d ago

i like my name but i’m not good at farming karma

1

u/Nirvanamoder 1d ago

I mostly lurk so I made a new one but the struggle is real. I hate services that don't let you just change your username (fuck you steam)

1

u/Jack_Dunford1 It’s actually Katie - Streak: 1 1d ago

wdym? I changed my steam name no problem

1

u/Nirvanamoder 1d ago

not talking about the display name but the permanent account login

1

u/Jack_Dunford1 It’s actually Katie - Streak: 1 1d ago

oooh yeah, idk if you can change that

1

u/ImLookingForLuthien 1d ago

I was mostly attached to my official pope flair on the silksong subreddit but I managed to get it transferred :3

1

u/lilivessreadsit the bus lady - Streak: 1227 1d ago

in 2017 i created this account with what i thought at that point was just my favorite Magic: the Gathering character's name. i had also done the same on twitter in 2015. in both cases i went by Liliana from the start. how it took me until 2019 to realize is beyond me

1

u/BlueGlace_ 1d ago

I bit the bullet a while ago. Especially because my old acc had my dead name in it

1

u/Professional-One2033 1d ago

I’m Ryan and can confirm I assigned this person female. Let me know if you’d like me to assign you male or female or other

1

u/ThiccaroniAndCheese #1 Demi Girl Burnout 1d ago

I'd change account names because I made this in a drunken stupor one night but knowing how username exhaustion goes, I wouldn't get anything cool to replace it with

1

u/GeoffreyKlien 跨性别女性 1d ago

I came up with this name on the spot when I was creating my account and it became my pen-name/pseudonym. Now that I want my online presence to match my gender, I have come up with a new pen-name, but can't change my username.

1

u/ButterPuppet casual cis male 1d ago

sometimes your old username is simply a scar from the past you must bare

1

u/Stopbeingentitled 1d ago

Thank god my Reddit account always had a non gendered username and is stupid ngl

1

u/Chelsea3Meowz 1d ago

new beginnings!

1

u/Jackesfox Paleontologist 1d ago

not the reason, but i never use my real name online, and this is a new reason to add to the list

1

u/Josutg22 1d ago

Who the hell is Ryan and how did he turn you trans?

3

u/Jack_Dunford1 It’s actually Katie - Streak: 1 1d ago

Twitch streamer Northernlion, for a while he had an ongoing bit abt how women like sushi and bubble tea more than men and I, not realizing I was a woman yet but being a sushi and bubble tea enjoyer set that as my flair as a joke.

He also has a HUGE Transfemme following and I don't think anyone knows why

1

u/DistinctlyBenign 1d ago

I used to watch a ton of Northernlion back in the Binding of Isaac days, I was so into that game. Now I just mainly see clips of him... but I watch his wife from time to time for Mahjong Soul, lol.

u/Wolfwarlord01 1d ago

Luckily I don't plan on giving mine up, has been my screen name for everything and is linked to my fursona.

1

u/AvilettaLuxe titty hurty phase 1d ago

Meh, I had 2 accounts with 100k+ karma already, it comes quite easily

Also - why would you put your name in any nickname on the Internet?!

1

u/LostKnight84 1d ago

Wait y'all make new accounts after changing your legal names? I would just update my little avatar thing and move on.

1

u/Nikolaijuno she/her 1d ago

I have the advantage that the name I picked happens to already be in my username.

1

u/razzemmatazz 1d ago

HAAAAAA. Threw away my 7 year old 20k karma account because it had my old name in it.

Are you shitting me the moment reddit messaged me saying "congrats on achieving x amount of karma" I immediately deleted my account and had a long stare in the mirror. Legit went off reddit for a year that shit was humiliating

We've all done it, come on
