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

A member of the Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei? Charitably, you can include wannabe members in that, like the kids that were in the German Youth program. At best, all Nazis are a 100 years old at tgis point. They are not a threat.

I thought it was a rhetorical question, tone is lost through text.

@Blamemeta If a man stands in the public square and yells "Gas the Jews!" and "Heil Hitler!" and does the Nazi salute and has swastika tattoos all over, is it fair to call him a Nazi, even though he is not on the party list of the Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei?

[-] Blamemeta@lemmy.world -5 points 1 year ago

Well, he isn't. He wants to be, so he's just a wannabe Nazi. Not sure if that makes him lower than a Nazi, or if that's even possible. Further more, he doesn't really pose a threat, he's just some asshole, and assholes are not really worth worrying about. What's one guy gonna do? Shout at people and make them uncomfortable? He's not exactly going to get a following.

@Blamemeta Seems like a useless way to talk about the world. Maybe we should count him as a Nazi since the only way in which he's not a Nazi is that he's not enrolled in the NSDAP party membership?

[-] Blamemeta@lemmy.world -4 points 1 year ago

Maybe we shouldn't because having membership is literally the only requirement. By that measure, Lincoln, Einstein, and Dolly Parton are all Nazis.

Also if you're replying to me, I don't think you need to link me.

@Blamemeta Maybe having membership of the NSDAP should not be seen as the proper criterion for being a Nazi. Maybe we should instead say that people with the ideology of the NSDAP are Nazis, no matter whether they're officially registered or not.

@Blamemeta and I am using a Twitter-style server, which links you when replying. I am not sure if the link is required, but Twitter wouldn't show you the reply if it wasn't linked.

[-] Blamemeta@lemmy.world -3 points 1 year ago

Maybe Im wong, but you've seen my replys right? And I haven't been linking. I think lemmy is its own thing at the moment.

[-] immibis@social.immibis.com 1 points 1 year ago

@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.

It works on the website, so i think its just a regular feature of lemmy
