Dont use Reddit username or Facebook username or anything like that even if it could be cool. That way you dont have to worry even if some log file or error stack trace recorded your username.

Don't use "user" as your username. Use a personalized one, because it is much easier to identify and obviously it is a requirement in a multi user context.

If you share your logs pseudonymize them, but pick anything other than "user", because it makes it confusing especially when dealing with pam, ssh etc.

Overall not great advise.
