After 20-25 years, it’s more or less used for a spam pit and less important things now. No sense walking away from it when there’s no finances or other dangerous things attached
Name and domain both deceased
and domain
Nope. mail.yahoo.com
10 yo me on his way to include his day, month and year of birth in his reddit username that cannot be changed and to get enough karma on that account to not want to delete it.
And yet you ended up here
I’m glad I did!
At least you weren’t born in 1988.

Yes, Angelfire!! My first website was there. It was ✨ sparkly✨ and quite lovely. 😂 I only ever see people talk about Live Journal nowadays, which I think was after my time.
DaBestHackr@aol.com checking in. Warez for life
Warez is pronounced like “where’s” right? My friend said it like Juarez, the place in Mexico, and I can’t help but hear it like that in my head.
Yes, “where’s”, as in cracked softwares.
dwarfs?
Yup. Always said where’s

Nah it’s just coldplay.
IWantSomethingJustLikeThis2017!
Ohh man i hate that song
The instrumental version is
fantasticthere, though.Edit: I just listened to it again. Nah, I guess I was just in a mood when I first heard it.
My favourite song is “Yellow” and my surname is “Rain”… you can guess what my first email at age 10 was…
Okay I made that up, but I bet something like that has happened

I’m gonna use your password, but change one character so it’s mine.
Go for it!
I generated it in KeePass for this comment and actually interestingly it looks like Lemmy butchered/sanitized/modified it as well
Which character are you going to change?
all i see is *****************************************************************
Oh god don’t remind me, I STILL have stuff tied to that email
Friend got locked out of Instagram account because yahoo deactivated their email. Instagram flagged the email as inactive. After my friend forgot their password, Instagram wouldn’t send pw reset emails even after reactivating the account. They also has no direct customer support whatsoever, so that account was lost.
same email for 20+ years, if i was starting over, i would choose something shorter and easier to spell
You missed your chance with your account here too
I made that mistake with my first vanity domain. It sucked having to spell it out every time lol
More like 8 yr old lol
I got pretty lucky that 1) my usernames have all been pretty tame if a bit boring and 2) I never published anything horrible under my IRL name
I publish all of my horrible stuff online under your real name just to fuck with you
It was me Barry
Dick move other Barry
Bank: and your email is “TigOlBiddies69 @ email com?”
Me: “Yes is there a problem?”
When I was in college I got an early invite to Gmail, and did the fistname.lastname address.
All my day jobs have also had the same format, as does my university faculty ID (I teach night classes).
It’s kinda handy that you just use my (unique) name and the organization to get in touch with me.
Though it’s super annoying on my phone’s autocomplete since the screen above the keyboard shows “firstname.lastname@…” 3 times and I don’t know which is which.
I do find that interesting all your jobs use the same name format. My jobs have all had different formats lol
One was first initial last name, one was last name first initial (same as my school), my current one is just first name which is cool because if there are any other people who come here later I will be the original one lol, etc
Also my second job had four people with the same name as me, but one of them was much older and died while I was still working there, then I left a year later so then they were down to two. lol
You guys are still using the same email?
Trying to get highscore on haveibeenpwned.com. 37 so far
I only got eleven, guess my password is alright?
I have 3 and I have used the same email and password for 23 years
What could you lose?
Thank goodness Gmail came out so I could get away from my Yahoo email.
you will be thanking protonmail, tutanota or posteo.de
When I was like 11 I made two emails, one with a dumb name and another more professional one that’s just my name. I didn’t want to send emails to adults with the dumb name one because I didn’t want to explain it.
11 year old me was way too serious.
My first Hotmail address was based off my football position and jersey number. During high school I changed positions and numbers along the way, making it obsolete like a year after creating it
Still useful for signing up to things I know are gonna spam me with bullshit though, the ad copy can join old MySpace reminders.
Ah, mister SafetySafety88 ?
My first was dingdong86@aol and then dudeguy2202@yahoo
Today I use something more professional, last name + my first and middle initials.
Same, I made a more professional email address that was easier to tell people over the phone. I didn’t think at the time that my middle initials are A & T.
Now the confusion is I say my email addres is “firstname at lastname @ gmail.com”
