    This was my first thought, as it’s a very common username addon. I was unaware of all the other stuff.

      While yes adding your birth year to your username is common (but terrible OpSec), adding 88 or HH or other Nazi symbolism is also common among their community. Especially in an open setting.

      It serves as a shibboleth for the alt-right that you are one of them.
