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

    @Blamemeta I am talking to you from a Twitter interface called Pleroma. I can see your replies to me because Lemmy will send them to me simply because they are replies. I am not sure if Pleroma wil send replies back to Lemmy if they don’t link.
