I’ve been thinking a lot about how platforms trap users with permanent usernames. Reddit is one of the worst examples — once you choose a name, you can never reset it, recycle it, or fully delete it. That kind of permanence creates anxiety and makes people feel stuck. Digital identity shouldn’t be irreversible. We need platforms that let users change or erase their identity when they need to.
