I see you're practicing the hacker news version of cancel culture I see.

Since H is eighth character in the alphabeth some neo-nazi groups use "88" as a shorthand for "Heil Hitler" - they would even tatoo "88" on their body.

I do know that “88” is neo-Nazi slang; but, if I see “88” in a username, my first guess is that they were born in 1988.

The innocent explanation is more often right than the guilty one.

I honestly can’t recall seeing any HN usernames with “88” in them other than this one. I don’t think it is particularly common.
