i got all that except what is GUID generator? Well, i know what one is, but how is that relevant to online social forums, the generate their own backend guids.
This is my area of interest so I'm going to write a bunch of bullshit that's not important. Feel free to ignore.
It's actually UUID as per the RFC. Some softwares like to call it a "GUID" because the writers of the software are bullshit idiots who like to pretend they invented everything but I digress.
A version 4 (random) UUID looks something like this: 27685875-da51-4dac-ad93-0e14ec5a683b or 60695e27-2e23-4da5-9e1b-58d01ad87479. Most websites wont let you use that as a user name though.
In my opinion if you want a random smattering of letters/numbers as a user name you're better off using something like https://www.random.org/strings/
If you want something that doesn't look too much like a bot wrote it then using something like 2 words from https://www.rempe.us/diceware/#eff would look better.
If you aren’t using a GUID generator, cycling accounts every few months, and aren’t using a VPN you aren’t “social mediaing” correctly. 🤦🏼♂️

Preach my dood. Basically he was misusing the term guid. That is why I asked him to explain. This is also my area of expertise.
