…I mean, you DO realize that 1988 has no significant historical ties to the nazis right? Pretty much everything after 1945 and you wouldn’t normally be assosiated with them.
But you went out of your way to mention them. That would be like me using your bathroom and saying without prompt “I didn’t take a shit on your pillow”.
And you saying “What?”
And me saying “I’m just saying, that series of events of me dropping my pants, shitting on your pillow, and then using your blankets as toilet paper didn’t happen.”
“Why are you telling me this?”
“Because if later poop is found on your pillow, I just wanted to preemptively state that I didn’t do it.”
“Did you shit on my pillow?”
“No”
“Then why are you saying this?”
“Because I DIDN’T poop on your pillow. I thought I made that clear!”
Sometimes people put the year they were born in their username like janedoe1969. Sometimes people abbreviate the year to the last 2 digits like janedoe69. Sometimes 2 digit numbers mean something else like 69 or 88. Sometimes people use the non year meaning as an indicator like whitedaddy88. Sometimes people don’t immediately recognize the alternative meaning of a number and accidentally use a dog whistle in their username. Sometimes people don’t want to be confused as being a Nazi because of an innocent mistake they made on a forum years ago. Sometimes they use that negative experience as an opportunity for a meta referential joke.

My username is a joke and you are wrong
It’s a good joke
Thats 88. Not 1988.
19 words and HH. 1988 is an abbreviation.
And I’m here trying to figure out what the FUCK PP BOY has to do with Nazis and Hitler?
You’re not alone
Let me know when y’all figure it out
It’s because of their display name, their username is PP_BOY_@lemmy.world, but their display name is “NotANaziIWasJustBornIn1988”.
I suppose not every instance/app shows display names.
Ah, okay, that makes sense. Yeah I don’t see the display name.
It’s 14 words.

Well you certainly seemed to have held up to your username.
Completely unrelated to the comment and unhinged.
Man, it took me a while to figure out you were on about the dude’s username. I was real confused.
I for one still am
