The suggestions for email addresses if yours was already taken used to include what you entered plus the last two digits of your birth year. I wonder how many people born in 1988 followed that advice and now deeply regret it.
Pretty sure just yesterday I saw a Lemmy comment bemoaning that 88 had been co-opted for exactly this reason.
this was already a thing way before emails became a thing
Wait what are all you talking about? 88 just means shit like hugs and kisses or good luck.

The link you gave provides you with the answer. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/88_(number)#In_neo-Nazism
Let's not let neonazis take culturally common shit like the okay sign, thumbs up, or literal numbers please.

"Cultural significance" > "in Neo-nazism"
