I thought people on Lemmy would understand the pun of my nickname, but instead people assume I'm an asshole just based on my name being "go fuck yourself" to them.

I even tried adding $ to help make it more obvious it's not "fuck" but "fsck". Clearly, if you've never heard of fsck you're going to assume it's just some intentional misspelling of "fuck".

I regret my username now.

It’s a good pun and you shouldn’t regret it! People who don’t get the joke are unobservant and can either realize and learn from their ignorance, or remain in the dark.

I've long assumed the authors of fsck were having some childish fun in choosing the name. Personally, I'd be fine with people routinely making asses of themselves by jumping to conclusions, and acting upon them. I'd even give them a chance to save themselves from embarrassment by putting an explanation in my profile "for those unaware."

fsck is a command for "file system check" to check for drive errors.
