I don't even
I'd wager that 99% of website allow username enumeration. The very few cases that don't, typically shield their signup with additional steps (captchas, mobile OTP (e.g. paypal, ...)). None of which are foolproof and all of which are a compromise not just from a security point of view but also from a usability point of view.
Until someone gives me a great way to do this with signups, I'm going to stick with the much more usable forgot password error message.
Also, and again like (most of) Reddit, Hacker News is public anyway, it's outright weird to have a HN user, choose a distinct name for it when you didn't have to, and then be angry that HN reveals the existence of your user.
However, if sites have distinct username and email then getting one doesn't give you the other.
Adds friction to signup, but would work when it's really important to not leak account existence.
