Is it possible to claim a username from an old/inactive account?

Is it possible that an account username could be switched to something else that's been claimed by an old/inactive account?

Right now I'm under the name 'mythiiee', but I typically like using the name 'mythiie' on all my platforms so the accounts are found easier/are harder to impersonate. On here though there's a completely unused/blank account from 2018 ((this is NOT me)) under the name, just sitting there ;;

And yes I have plans for using this account for sharing games, I won't leave it blank like the other person's. Does anyone know if this change is possible/allowed? ((this is my first time here so sorry if i did something wrong ^^

Generally speaking, no. The public user profile page does not show if someone is still using the account or not, only when it was created. Just because they don’t post doesn’t mean they aren’t using their account!

Ohh okay,, that's too bad,, thank you for the explanation though! ^^
