   "He then started a personal account on Reddit with a binary version of 88 (Heil Hitler) at the end."

   He ... wait, he did WHAT??
   Can you link a source?

   My SE-Fu falls short. But I did find this post by Andy, which looks ... more detailed, I guess, and not all that bad:

     Haven’t heard much from EFF or Proton on their happy applause for anti trans policies.

     @fedithom @Infoseepage @hacks4pancakes It's still *possible* to be someone born in 1988 and not be aware of the choice of user name when using (part of) their birth year to do the usual quick-and-dirty username disambiguation.

     But a CEO of a company with a popular product used for a long time largely by people who really, really don't want to be associated in any way with Nazi shit should recognize this as a Bad Choice (TM). And if they don't...well, that says something right there.

     (Obfuscating 88 with binary is particularly sus. It requires you to actively *think* "I want to put '88' in my user name and *not* just because using my birth year is convenient -- because otherwise I'd just use the decimal version.")

     anban repeated this.

     He's south east asian. It means "luck" in his culture. You're just showing off extreme ignorance towards other cultures than your own here.

     I don't find that? I see "1011000" which would be 58. Did he change it?

     @lienrag @dpnash @fedithom @Infoseepage it doesn’t really make a ton of difference because of the many public posts lauding Trump

     @dpnash

     Or "I was born in 88 but don't want to put this number like that because of its associations" ?

     (I'm not in his head, but from a logical standpoint, both seem possible)
