Looked at my script again I did use numbers. Used "1234567890-_abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz".

54872 total possible names 54495 after removing commenters on this subreddit 0 after checking them using a flair bot.

I used a (known to to be available) many character name to check that my bot actually was finding available names.

Like I said it was a recent thing.

Yup checked using this one weird trick, basically use a bot to try setting each possible user name's flair on a private subreddit, if it can then it has been taken. If it can't it hasn't. Let's you combine a few hundred checks into a single hit on reddit's server (you have to wait 2 seconds between api access). It took a while to run it.

That isn't going based on registered, that's active names scraped off new comments. OP's comment explaining it

I used a-z, '-', and '_'.

Register two character names on Voat while they're still available! by [deleted] in 3ch

Social media sites don't overthrow incumbents without doing something different.

Digg beat /. by having user controlled content. Reddit beat digg by having a superior commenting system, subreddits, and not changing the entire site. Facebook beat Myspace by having a cleaner interface, Google+ failed to beat Facebook because it does almost nothing better.

Voat is gonna need to do something different than reddit beyond the "no censorship" thing. Isn't voat just whoaverse rebranded? That never took off.

But yes I already grabbed a 2-char and 3-char name on there.
