@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.")
