For sure. Context absolutely matters, ans the context here doesn’t establish a pattern from my understanding. So in this case it’s unlikely to be a dog whistle.

But people should still be aware of what the 88/1448 dog whistle looks like.

Yeah fuck that, it’s tuta time.

88 is typically used either on its own, or in full as 1488 by neo nazis and fascists. It’s a dog whistle.

On its own, it can be used accidentally, such as if you have 88 in your username because you were born in '88, but if paired with other behavioral patterns it can become damning.

A CEO/founder of a communications company praising a fascist is gonna be a major concern of a privacy focused community like this.

Proton should be doing everything they can to keep things private, since that’s they’re whole marketing strategy. Yet here they are licking the boot. That makes them untrustworthy of our data.

I’m in the same boat. What a shit show.

You wouldn’t download a car stranger’s fecal records.

Never used Facebook, never fucking will.

Pretty neat, but probably not something I’d buy
