These are great. ~ is classy, but @ feels modern.
- example.com/~bigdicknigga
- example.com/@bigdicknigga
These are good and what I initially preferred.
- example.com/user/bigdicknigga
- example.com/profile/bigdicknigga
Not bad, but I much prefer /user/
- example.com/users/bigdicknigga
The /profile makes it clunky
- example.com/-/bigdicknigga/profile
These are clean, but give me a claustrophobic anxiety. You need ban possible usernames like help, docs, about, and so on.
- example.com/bigdicknigga
- bigdicknigga.example.com
Just keep one reserved like /site and run your main site through there
bigdicknigga.example.com
This one is not good for the privacy of those who are visiting the user profile, because "bigdicknigga" will appear in the DNS request.

Are you trolling me bro? There are people who actually expect privacy while accessing the DNS?
~bigdicknigga is the original Unix shell convention. @bigdicknigga is the contemporary social media convention. They're otherwise equivalent. I'd use ~ for a programmer's website and @ for a normie website. There's also the federated bigdicknigga@example.com federated service convention which is the most correct of all since @ literally means at but it's not like anyone does that anymore.
That's his point. You can't expect privacy from DNS. Using per-user subdomains will leak information about which users are being visited.

That's as tautological as "your IP address is being leaked right now" or "your unsecured traffic is being monitored by the government". I can't believe that people actually think about tautology.
