Pretty attached. My parents picked it.
If I could just be "Bill" everywhere I would but it really only works on the fediverse.

Yeah it does kinda matter, which is problematic for onboarding new users. Personally:
- I read the rules/TOS.
- I checked the Instances page to make sure instances I wanted to access were linked and not blocked.
- I looked for any introduction posts to see what the backend infrastructure was like.
- I checked the username I wanted was available.
It should not be that complicated, but it also has to be unfortunately. I had to make sure all those things matched what I personally wanted. This much choice is great for heavily-invested tech nerds with free time but sucks for anyone else wanting to join in.
We all forgetting Maggie just straight-up murdered someone for trying to take her lollipop?
