Juice is a nickname I go by and I was born in 1988. Also yes, this is a new account, I started looking for a Reddit alternative when they started public trading last week. Where are the nazi symbols? I’m Mexican and Native American.

Even if it was innocent, putting 88 in your username at best makes you unoriginal and old.

You're half dead and you still can't figure out a unique name that doesn't give Nazis cover?

Pathetic.

Well then I’m old and unoriginal Mr Dragon type. My screen name is what it is. I gave you an explanation that I didn’t owe you in the first place and this is all the effort that I’m willing to put in. Have fun being weirdly paranoid over usernames I guess.

Your words mean nothing even in your best case scenario.

Dude, you really need to go touch some grass

[-] Juice88@lemmy.world 10 points 7 months ago

That cool man. Look, I don’t do internet drama anymore (I’m old like you said). So I’m just going to block you now.

what in the hell, lol. i think you've been on the Internet too much

my girl's favorite number is 14, guess I gotta break the news to her that that means she's a Nazi 😂

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 1 points 7 months ago

If her screen name is "Jews14" yeah, probably.

G*mers, lmao

[-] vardogor@mander.xyz 7 points 7 months ago

[-] warm@kbin.earth 1 points 7 months ago

Guess I have to stop drinking juice!

[-] HatchetHaro 11 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

step off the gas. nicknames and numbers can have entirely different cultural contexts.

for me, i've never seen "juice" used to refer to jews, nor "88" being used to refer to nazis, and i've been on the internet a long time.

when i see "juice", the first thing i think of is the song by lizzo. "88" is used as a replacement for "bye bye" in cantonese lingo.

plenty of usernames are just random word + year of birth. stop overanalyzing it and chill.

You sound like the kind of person who would just assume Hindu temples were made by Nazis because they contained swastikas. Just because some assholes used a symbol as a dogwhistle doesn't mean that the rest of the world should stop using it.

[-] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 5 points 7 months ago

88 = Heil Hitler

That's one I've never heard before. Is it some sort of neonazi slang or am I just really dumb?

Well, looked it up before posting this comment. That's absolutely crazy that it's an actual thing.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 9 points 7 months ago

It's literally one of their most common dogwhistles and has been for as long as the Internet has existed, lol

If you see a 14 or a 88 anywhere in a username you need to start asking questions about intent.

[-] Finalsolo963 3 points 7 months ago

I'm internet poisoned as hell but I'm surprised that that's not common knowledge. Its also often 1488 with the 14 referring to the 14 words of the following neo-nazi slogans:

"We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children"

"because the beauty of the White Aryan woman must not perish from the Earth."
