Lots of people getting harassed in my feed

Either I am very lucky, very boring, or... dunno

It might be due to most of my posts being, by default, unlisted

Also, I've reduced my followers to less than 500 and screen new people trying to follow me

@DelilahTech Could you tell us the origin story of "Full Metal Archaeopteryx"? How that came to be your handle?

@ppesavento
Not really a thrilling story, that 😅

When I rejoined the Fedi, it turned out my former handle had been dropped or summat, probably because I'd been away for a very long time

Anyhow, I had a habit of changing my handle rather frequently, and so it went—every few weeks or so, often in a punny way

Though there was a period of putting song lyrics up, for a slow rickroll...

I digress again 😉

It was time to change again, and I had just been reading a bunch of paleontology books, so I thought about which old piles of bone was getting the least love lately

I began riff on that, looking for a good rhyme or pun

Didn't take me long, and everyone loved it

Like perfect strangers would DM me, or publicly call me out for best handle 🎉

And so it's stayed, for a couple of years 🤷
