minus-squareZellith@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up44·edit-210 months agoRemember when they took handle X from it’s original user Gene X Hwang, who had it for years? The renamed him to @x12345678998765. User names are taken as easily as they are given. They aren’t worth any price unless you have some memes to spread. But hey. Claim as many names as you like now. Apparently you get to charge 50k to sell them to those with more money than sense.
