Linux438196y"Why is [common word or name] already taken on [insert large ass social network]."
Well, because it is not a uncommon word or name.. -
@Linux no shit, eh?
Thanks for your revolutionary and insightful comment!! Lmao
It's moreso about the fact these platforms don't clean up inactive accounts and thus leave usernames unavailable for everyone -
They may not post but they may still browse and like other's content. That's what my account is used for.

@AlgoRythm And Instagram would know that. Thus being able to decipher between active and inactive.
Cleanup the inactive and leave the active be. -
@Stuxnet maybe they are doing that but the ones you want are the active ones ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Glad that you think that I am smart ;)
Atleast I got this cool username and it was before devrant got known :P
I fucking hate how every Instagram username I want is fucking taken by inactive accounts.
Obviously, I want stuxnet - 2 posts from like 2014 and 0 follows/followers.
Ok well let's try stux since it's a bad ass 4 letter handle - again, no posts in months.
Like fuck me man. Insta should clean up inactive accounts and free the usernames so they're up for grabs again.
