It's a futurama reference. Meant to be anonymous but ended up getting lucky with a lightsaber gig and am now stuck with the name lol. Only unfortunate part is I wish I'd known which account was going to get lucky lol

My username? Cuz I've had it since like 2003 or so, possibly even earlier. I'm a simple man, I like consistency.

Don't you worry people will be able to find what you were up to elsewhere in the past?

It's such a majestic creature.

[–] popekingjoe@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

It started off on Discord as a joke I no longer remember the context of, and was originally just "PopeJoeI (as in Pope Joe the First)" , and then spread to other areas, like the site formerly known as Twitter.

Then Discord added the crowns to admins and it then became "PopeKingJoe" and that's that.
