Well the purpose of the hate list like this isn’t “what symbols not to use” so much has, if a guy uses this and there’s context to suggest it’s a dogwhistle, this is what it means.
As a concrete example, If someone turns to a camera makes the ok gesture then punches a black guy that can be used as evidence to add a hate crime charge onto the assault charge.

By that point, it’s already been tainted and it’s too hard to tell reality from satire from ignorance.
Nazis just love appropriating and poisoning symbols, and it all started with the swastika: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swastika

In any normal circles, nazis are so irrelevant that you dont need to worry about ok signs or whatnot

No. This was in the context of the original comment. If somebody has no idea what’s wrong with the ok sign, they probably don’t need to worry about it. This is all terminally online insanity.
