Same here. From the source it checks Twitter, Github, Facebook, Reddit and Hacker News. This also might prove that email addresses as usernames is a bad idea.

- arihant 10y agoPeople generally tend to try and get same username on most websites they visit. Especially the ones using same pw everywhere. So in that sense email as UID ain't that bad.
- hyperpape 10y agoProbably, but the alternative isn't much better. Many people I know are "randomguy42" on dozens of different services, except for a few shady ones where they're "definitelynotrandomguy42".
- randomguy42 10y agoCrap.
- Achshar 10y agoStop. The green color gives it away anyways.
- lvh 10y agoThere are a lot fewer places where my e-mail address is the same than where "lvh" is the same.
