The suggestions for email addresses if yours was already taken used to include what you entered plus the last two digits of your birth year. I wonder how many people born in 1988 followed that advice and now deeply regret it.
Pretty sure just yesterday I saw a Lemmy comment bemoaning that 88 had been co-opted for exactly this reason.
Wait what are all you talking about? 88 just means shit like hugs and kisses or good luck.
The link you gave provides you with the answer. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/88_(number)#In_neo-Nazism
Let’s not let neonazis take culturally common shit like the okay sign, thumbs up, or literal numbers please.

Fun facts, I own a domain name and created a new email address.
I’m currently considering making it my main email address.
Also a good reason to leave outlook and gmail.
Last I tried that was over 20 years ago, and I was getting bombed with 13,000 spam emails an hour.
Though I’d imagine privately-hosted spam filtering has gotten much better since then.
That’s good to know.
Maybe try domain name privacy.
