Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

The link wasn't working but I found what I think is being shared.

Neo-Nazis also employ various number symbols:

18, code for Adolf Hitler. The number comes from the position of the letters in the alphabet: A = 1, H = 8.[11]

88, code for "Heil Hitler", a phrase used in the Nazi salute.[12] Also used as a reference to the "88 Precepts", a manifesto written by white supremacist David Lane.

14, from the Fourteen Words coined by David Lane: "We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children."[13]

14 and 88 are sometimes combined with each other (i.e. 14/88, 8814, 1488).[14] They are also sometimes depicted on dice.[15]
