I tend to purge my account around once a year for opsec but I want to keep this username for when Chuck kicks the bucket. How would I go about that? Also if anyone has any username recommendations that would be appreciated.

There's a million things you can do for opsec because opsec varies based on your perceived enemy. If you work for the Krusty Krab, opsec would mean not letting Plankton learn the Secret Krabby Patty Formula. Spongebob knows that his perceived enemy is the Chum Bucket or other rival fast food franchises.

If you don't identify a perceived enemy, you could be wasting your time or even not protecting yourself at all. If the perceived enemy is just a vague fear that a government is coming after you, as a rule of thumb, don't post anything on the internet that you wouldn't want to read in a court room.
