Andy Yen, founder and CEO of ProtonMail has decided to post on Reddit with the username andy1011000 [1]. 1011000 being the binary representation of the decimal number 88, a well-known dog whistle towards the far-right [2].

I am sure that he will say it’s just a joke, or his birth year. And that is most likely true. But still — I am happy that I cancelled my proton mail account already a while ago.

Andy Yen on reddit: „Going forward, I will be posting via u/andy1011000. Thank you for your feedback and inputs so far, and we look forward to continuing the conversation.“
The meaning of 88 explained „88 is a white supremacist numerical code for "Heil Hitler." H is the eighth letter of the alphabet, so 88 = HH = Heil Hitler. One of the most common white supremacist symbols, 88 is used throughout the entire white supremacist movement, not just neo-Nazis. One can find it as a tattoo or graphic symbol; as part of the name of a group, publication or website; or as part of a screenname or e-mail address. It is even sometimes used as a greeting or sign-off (particularly in messages on social networking websites).“

Or...

As a Taiwan born Chinese, Andy just added _88_ to his handle as a symbol of good fortune as thousands (millions perhaps) do in Asia.

Who knows...
