Obligatory “not today” disclaimer: actually fucked up over two decades ago, but found out today.
At the dawn of theinternet, I made an account on imgur. I figured (correctly) that I wasn’t going to use it often enough for the username to matter much, so I just went with the first part of my email adress and a number four times.
Turns out that there is such a thing as nazi number code and it’s never a good idea to use an even number of 8s for usernames when you’re not a nazi.
TL;DR: Didn’t know about nazi code, accidentally selected an imgur username ending with the equivalent of a double Hitler salute
My randomly assigned 4 digit discriminator on Discord back when I joined was “1488”. Didn’t know it was a Nazi calling card until one of the members in the community I was participating in tried to get me banned over it.
Fortunately it only took a month or so with Discord support to get them to change it. I contemplated buying nitro so people wouldn’t think I was a nazi lol.
Why the fuck would they ban you over a DISCRIMINATOR??? YOU LITERALLY CAN"T CONTROL IT, IT IS DECIDED BY THE DISCORD PROGRAM!!
holy shit lmaooo would be one hell of a tactic to earn money: “pay us money or we’ll make you look like a nazi”

Hmmm
The internet first went online in 1983.
I may have t-shirts older than OP.
One of my first handles was “Necro_File.”
I just meant, like, a 404 error. A dead file.
I didn’t know about necrophilia. 🤦♂️
Same. I used my school username “1831942”. Later, I found out that was the date the American Nazi party was founded…
8888?
I wouldn’t worry about it. Only those most obsessed with hitler would care or notce. Hell, drinking milk now is white supremacy, and I like having strong bones.
