I do feel bad for people born in the year 1488 though, their usernames look really suspicious.
These people probably feel so ashamed they can’t even look at themselves in the mirror.
Gee, I wonder if Aryansoldier1488 knows if 1488 is a dog whistle for Nazis? I’d hate for Aryansoldier to get caught up in this. It was probably a random number.
Poor guy was probably just born on 1/4/1988 and his real name is just Ayra N Soldier. People these days just call everybody a Nazi smh /s
His name is really just Ryan Adams Soldier
Whoever took this screenshot is the user with that Discord name
That looks like screenshot from any user to me. The highlighting is the same as me taking a screenshot of a comment where I @ someone else. It also looks the same when I see someone else’s comment @ someone else.
Edit: thank you all for down voting me for admitting that I didn’t notice the difference in the background and replied thinking they might be referring to the name highlighting. Clearly I must have been disagreeing with the comment I replied to and not just trying to learn something!
The message in the OP has a yellow tint to the background along with a yellow line on the left.
Thank you!
I upvoted, but don’t worry about karma on this site. It doesn’t mean anything here, most people & apps don’t care about some form of “total karma”.
All things considered it also didn’t mean anything on Reddit, but people get a bit egotistical on there.
I don’t worry about it, just bugs me when people get downvoted for being unaware of something and admitting to it. “Here’s why I don’t understand” tends to be inferred to mean disagreement.
I believe the yellow background highlight is the difference
dont worry about downvotes, everybody will at some point be downvoted, valid reason or not. I know it feels bad, but everyone makes mistakes and it’s totally normal to be wrong sometimes ❤️
Lemmy doesn’t have karma for a reason :)PS, it might be best etiquette to
strike out your text like thisso people understand that what you were saying was incorrect (2 of the ~ symbol on either side)No, I don’t think I will.
Not sure why you’re being downvoted. Unless I’m missing something it’s just stupid Lemmy hive mind
Try to make sure you’re in the right before calling other people stupid.
They are right that the hive mind is stupid for down voting a post that states they don’t see what the other person sees. I still can’t even tell the screenshot in the post has a yellow tint, but take others words for being able to tell the difference.
Thank you. I still don’t see the difference, but at least someone explained it after my comment
The highlighting is really hard to see without a contrast from the regular background color, and to be honest I never noticed the bright yellow stripe down the side.
Since you can set temporary, server-only nicknames, you don’t even need to edit the page source or Photoshop to stage that
What do we call a Discord that allows nazis in it? A Nazi Discord.
Well, now that Discord is going public, we can probably just call it Discord.
Nnnooooo god is it really? I fucking despise discord but I have a couple dipshit friend groups that refuse to shift off the platform (hard to argue w/ Xbox integration)… Jfc if that shit goes public its downhill from an already downhill slope 😭 horrendous
Considering the avatar, there’s like a non-zero chance it’s one nazi telling another.
Nathan Higgers, born 13 January, 1988:
Seriously, I didn’t see the name until after I read the comments. I got totally tricked; good job!
Guess I’ve been living under a rock or something because I had to look up what 1488 meant.
I still don’t fully understand though… Is this something that a lot of people recognise as a nazi / white supremacist symbol, or is it more of a niche reference?They say it to each other as a greeting, usually they just say 88. Another great one is TTMFBBTT, which means they are Aryan Brotherhood members “til the motherfucking body bag toe tag”. Or they say “wood wood”, which is short for either peckerwoods or feather woods, which is a male and female AB member.
The Klan say KIGY, AKIA, and KLASP.
In the US it may be more popular. I only know about 88 or 18 for HH or AH.
That’s a train whistle.
That’s good looking out.
I hope he gets messaged every hour about how his name might draw the wrong crowd.
Also that he needs to take pills for a bigger penis.
ETA: And that he might be able to profit from Nigerian princes needing some money laundered through the United States.
Also he should try EA’s FIFA offerings… okay, I’m getting carried away. No one deserves that.
No he’s just from Iran who likes the third unification of Iran he’s just off by twenty years.
How courteous
Just the number? The Aryan Soldier part is fine? Dude there’s no redeeming part of that name. It translates as IamANaziIAmANazi.
Whoooosh
You forgot one IamANazi. Sadly, I’ve seen worse names in PC gamimg lobies.
I usually rain hellfire on Nazis, when they actually Behave like Nazis & not just because of a number
And until they behave like nazis, you’d defer to the friendly warning, correct?
