In local community FB posts I'm seeing replies from people with usernames like DaringAlligator2732 and ConcernedHomeowner14048. These don't seem like the "real identity" facebook usernames; they kind of feel like anonymous or sometimes even randomly generated names. How and why does that happen? Has it been happening for a long time?

To be fair all the real usernames have dried up on sites that have like a billion users. How the fuck am I supposed to register a new account on a website when every possible permutation of anything I would actually want as a username is already claimed?
