Is it possible to change my username on Tildes?

Basically the title. I imagine the answer is no, based on what little I know of databases and whatnot, but was still curious to find out.

    As far as I know, no. You might be able to bribe @Deimos though. However I don't know if it's technologically feasible at all.

      We've talked about making that an actual feature in the future, with a complete trust/reputation wipe attached to discourage frivolous use. That would make an account the same as a new user in the ratings. That's not a thing yet, though, so no worries right now.

        I think there's something nice to keeping it manual and maintaining some degree of friction in the process
