    Just the number? The Aryan Soldier part is fine? Dude there’s no redeeming part of that name. It translates as IamANaziIAmANazi.

    Guess I’ve been living under a rock or something because I had to look up what 1488 meant.
    I still don’t fully understand though… Is this something that a lot of people recognise as a nazi / white supremacist symbol, or is it more of a niche reference?

    Gee, I wonder if Aryansoldier1488 knows if 1488 is a dog whistle for Nazis? I’d hate for Aryansoldier to get caught up in this. It was probably a random number.

      Poor guy was probably just born on 1/4/1988 and his real name is just Ayra N Soldier. People these days just call everybody a Nazi smh /s

        As a radical centrist, I must find any possible reason that someone would stick an obvious dogwhistle in their name besides being a Nazi. We can’t just go assuming the blatantly obvious.

    I hope he gets messaged every hour about how his name might draw the wrong crowd.

    Also that he needs to take pills for a bigger penis.

    ETA: And that he might be able to profit from Nigerian princes needing some money laundered through the United States.

    Also he should try EA’s FIFA offerings… okay, I’m getting carried away. No one deserves that.

      That looks like screenshot from any user to me. The highlighting is the same as me taking a screenshot of a comment where I @ someone else. It also looks the same when I see someone else’s comment @ someone else.

        But that’s not what it looks like to you. It’s what you remembered it looking like. If it looked like that to you, you’d have a completely different experience of discord than anyone else. I didn’t downvote or anything, but you basically said “you’re wrong”, but they were correct.

        Your comment could potentially have mislead others. People downvoted so it was less likely to be seen. When you noticed the downvotes, you acted like you were getting downvoted for admitting to an oversight. Even now you’re acting like you were just trying to “learn something” and pretending like you were never actually suggesting they were incorrect. It’s ok to just say you were mistaken. You weren’t downvoted for saying you were mistaken, you were downvoted for being wrong and potentially downvoted more for then complaining about downvotes.

          No, I did NOT say that nor did I imply that. It is also pretty fucking arrogant of you to asssume everyone notices and remembers everything. Fuck, I even posted screen shots to show I tried to check to see what I was missing!

            So you just responded for fun? You thought they were 100% accurate and you posted screenshots just to agree with them?

            I did not assume everyone notices or remembers everything and even if I did how would that even relate to arrogance? I said it’s ok to be mistaken. You seem to be unable to process that. Really, good luck, because it seems like you’re going to continue to have a rough go of it.

          Because they’re incorrect. The original message has a yellow tint in the background, which is only present for accounts that get mentioned.

              Well what you said wasn’t exactly an opinion, it was an incorrect statement. The yellow border indicates that the person who was pinged took the photo.

              I’ve seen your other comments, and it seems like you’re sour over getting downvoted because you weren’t able to notice a subtle difference that’s not easily obvious.

              Personally, I like to be strict with the downvote button. It’s just something I picked up (and miss) from old Reddit: there used to be a strict culture on the site, which would lead to a high influx of relevant quality content.

              In contrast, I saw a post on [email protected] yesterday about the theistic breakdown of the American demographic. It was a cool graph, but not a shitpost; yet it had still gained more upvotes than downvotes.

              Ultimately, I don’t think you should worry about it, as these votes matter even less on Lemmy than they do on Reddit.

                No, I am sour because people can’t fucking read and insert what they think I’m saying instead of responding to what I wrote.

            They are right that the hive mind is stupid for down voting a post that states they don’t see what the other person sees. I still can’t even tell the screenshot in the post has a yellow tint, but take others words for being able to tell the difference.

                The highlighting is really hard to see without a contrast from the regular background color, and to be honest I never noticed the bright yellow stripe down the side.

          I don’t worry about it, just bugs me when people get downvoted for being unaware of something and admitting to it. “Here’s why I don’t understand” tends to be inferred to mean disagreement.

        dont worry about downvotes, everybody will at some point be downvoted, valid reason or not. I know it feels bad, but everyone makes mistakes and it’s totally normal to be wrong sometimes ❤️
        Lemmy doesn’t have karma for a reason :)
