Tried to sign up to "meetup" platform to attend an event and got blocked at sign-up phase already. :(

Guess it was because I wrote a nerdy alias instead of my real name to the "Your name" box.

Their privacy policy is creepy so no way in hell I'd supply real info, but probably should have put a believable name into that form instead of a random handle.
