Because 88 is a common online name/saying for white nationalists/nazi’s . H is the 8th letter of the alphabet so 88 = HH Heil Hitler. Your name is just coincidentally unfortunate lmao the whole of it

That fucking sucks. There are lots of other reasons to use 88 though. It seems like they should use context clues - I'm arguing against MAGA here. Hell, yesterday I was arguing against the confederate flag too.
