This needs to be pinned at the top: only a Nazi goes out of their way to put an 88 in their username. He thinks heโ€™s clever by putting it in binary so people donโ€™t immediately call him out. Nazis get off on that kind of โ€œcleverโ€ dogwhistle.

Holy shit. That is indeed 88 in binary...

That doesn't mean he needed to put it in his username.

It's a bit more plausible when it's all 4 digits.

Fair, but I have other variants with just "88".

Maybe you shouldn't be doing that. Maybe your birthday is not so special that you should use it when it's a well and widely known symbol of Nazism. Frankly it's a little hard for me to buy these days.

Maybe I do what I want and just tell Nazi sympathizers to fuck off.
