Don't shoot the messenger but it means "gas the k*kes", usually followed by "RWN"/"race war now" as in GTKRWN.

I’d never have guessed that one. I figured Urban Dictionary would have it listed but that particular abbreviation is obscure enough that it’s only listed on the second page of results: https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=gtk

18 and 88 are the extent of my awareness of far-right codes/dog-whistles.

It means that to a vanishingly small number of quite deranged people. Hand over your language to them if you so wish. I won't be doing so.

What leaves a bad taste in my mouth is that one is forced to twitter to raise awareness which only works if you have a sizable following.

This combined with the band over posting ASNs is alarming.

It also seems to me as companies grow they become more interested in policing.

Not only they become, if they cross specific size, different government agencies are more interested in you as you have impact and they formally or not, trying to force you to apply this tactics.

Thanks, I stay with Mumble as my VoIP software. At least there I can name my channels and myself as I wish, without being cancelled by a not well thought out SJW word filter.

Remember Cunthorpe?
