Hearing it at all is a joke, and the lawyers arguing it should be disbarred.
That said
names themselves after a conspiracy theorist
puts either a Nazi dogwhistle or an unoriginal yet personally identifying mark in their username
You see how this is a weird look right
88 is a number, which in a username, often denotes the birth year of the individual.
Can we stop usurping two-digit numbers and pretending they have magical meanings? Otherwise, we're going to just have to throw out the whole Arabic numerical system, because every combination now has some other special meaning.
What kind of bot-brained "it's just a word" bullshit is this? It's not any number, it's that specific number combined with a stereotype of conspiracy theorist who specifically believes in that kind of hidden messaging... And uses it himself.
Further, it's Lemmy. You don't need usernumbers, that was a deliberate choice.
/> Poster makes a progressive remark in support of historically marginalized groups
/> Poster suggests rioting if the constitution is overturned
/> Agrees with poster
/> Call them a Nazi anyway
Oh Lemmy, never change :P
I also said you might just be unoriginal and insufficiently paranoid while knowingly giving Nazis smokescreens.
