What’s the story behind your username on Grapevine?

Hey folks! One thing I'm sure about is that this platform has the most intelligent, experienced, and intellectual self-made individuals. I also know that most of us like to communicate sarcastically or indirectly, which might be hard for a normal person to understand at first. This is why I believe each of us has a story behind our usernames. Sometimes, I find myself laughing at a username more than their jokes. Some of the usernames that always make me wonder are: FunnyBones, Potatomato, salt, UnpaidIntern, rantmastergogo, kabootar_jaa, IceTruckKiller, FuzzyRuin, BiryaniEnthu, ChinChinChu, EagerFetus, bullymcquire, bottleofgin, GossipAunty, JadeArgent, peepeepoopoo, barbaadeshwar, Nagraj, Damaru, Amulbutter, weekendemployee, AliveYouth, AlphaGrindset, TheOatmeal, and many more. The community would love to know the stories behind everyone's usernames here. I'll go first.. I am a die-hard fan of geopolitics, and before Trump, everything was going smoothly and boring around the globe. But then this legend came and brought endless entertainment, whether it was a roast-show with US singers, his accent, speeches, or Covid management. What an interesting time it was! Despite his political blunders, I'm a huge fan of his entertainment. 😀 I hope you all have seen his recent mugshot on Twitter. 😆

Hey hey hey, one of the oldest GV users here. Was busy for a few months with life, job, and family. This app and content seems to have really evolved. Seeing lots of new usernames and discussions. What do people usually talk about here these days?

Hey Folks, I thought I should do an AMA specially after yesterday’s rumours that I have been laid off from Grapevine - this isn’t true 😂. It is however true that I have been PIPed and have a much reduced role now xD To be serious: Happy to answer any Grapevine questions that you may have. Features, ideas, questions on why we do what we do welcome - I’ll answer what I can! Cheers!

Why does this community work? Or should I ask, does it really work? Why do people post on it? It could have been just another subreddit of anonymity was the only factor playing here. Do you guys crave for grapes (currency)? What makes you come back and open this app time and again? Just trying to understand the community psychology here.

Does any one know how Grapevine user icons work?

Took a solid month to decide on this because I did not want to give up my official mail ID. Thankfully, my colleague invited me using their passcode. And damn, this is too fucking good. The best of constructive discussion vs internal gossip. 😂 When the value became apparent to me, I was like damn, I gotta get in permanently, so obviously decided to go ahead with my email verification. I got no clue if other companies have got this but it seems like a clear no brainer that if you’re not already in it then you’re missing out on some really juicy conversations, especially around layoffs. Anyone else who joined their company’s private feed? And how is it?
