Email addresses are not good 'permanent' identifiers for accounts
Https://instantusername.com I've seen quite personal details being leaked because sometimes even smart people don't realise how easy it is to cross-reference given a unique username. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago
Found his twitter! :)
Have tried using instantusername.com but nothing that could be him came up :( It's not a particularly unique username either so I didn't have much hope to start with. Thank you anyways :). Source: almost 2 years ago

However, there are no videos. So I assumed that I will have to use the username JohnsonM3llisa for further investigation. I went to InstantUsername again, and looked that username up. - Source: dev.to / about 2 years ago

Checking for that username - thereareotherreceivers - across the web. No luck. Source: over 2 years ago
Anyone know who this man is? He tells me he’s a public figure(VT, NH area), only takes pics in dark lighting(I edited this photo). He’s super sketchy and said he can’t reveal his identity because of “rumors” about him. His snap score was 8 when he added me also.
Check what his actual username is and search that instead or I can search for you. I generally prefer https://instantusername.com/. Source: over 2 years ago
