The erasure of Luigi Mangione (substack.evancarroll.com)

Right now, on Stack Overflow, Luigi Magione’s account has been renamed. Despite having fruitfully contributed to the network he is stripped of his name and his account is now known as “user4616250”.

This appears to violate the creative commons license under which Stack Overflow content is posted.

When the author asked about this:

As of yet, Stack Exchange has not replied to the above post, but they did promptly and within hours gave me a year-long ban for merely raising the question. Of course, they did draft a letter which credited the action to other events that occurred weeks before where I merely upvoted contributions from Luigi and bountied a few of his questions.

I cross posted this to Hacker News (which is very pro-CEO and big corpo) and it's now rank 1 on the front page, lmao. People really support this guy

(And it's funny because in the comments, people are seething "Nooooo he's not popular, look at these polls that show he has 13% approval!!")

Hackers

Pro CEO and Pro Corporate

What fuckery is this?

Live too long and become a villain

Lmao it has 3x as many votes as anything else on HN but the moderated pushed it all the way down to page 3 (position 60-something when I just checked).

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 16 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

Even if the 13% number were accurate - that's a pretty damning number. 13% of people supporting someone for gunning down a CEO in cold blood is terrifying to CEOs.

That's not 13% hating them. That's 13% of people celebrating someone for killing them. No lawsuits. No trials. Just gunning them down in the streets. Things have gotten really bad when you have that much of the population actively supporting your murder.

This is the only solution to modern world problems. Imagine how many problems we would solve right away if we started gunning down powerful people, CEOs, politicians.

If billionaires were protected as we protect children in schools, we’d literally run out billionaires in a month.

Wow, they also changed the title lmao. I posted it with the same title as the article

[–] maccentric@sh.itjust.works 13 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

What does hn refer to?

[–] timlyo@kbin.earth 32 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Hacker News. it's a link aggregator website and forum at news.ycombinator.com

[–] Bronzebeard@lemm.ee 14 points 20 hours ago (3 children)

Wait, seriously? WTF is it named hacker news? Hackers are the least corporate people out there...

Most American hackers need a security clearance to work, you won't find them supporting Saint Luigi online

Because those are the equivalent of Hippies that turned Yuppies.

[–] turmacar@lemmy.world 1 points 16 hours ago

Yuppies are weird because it was originally just a way to keep them in the news ("new movement! new group! news at 11!") and be ridiculous. They got the DoD to sign a contract about exactly how high they were permitted to levitate the Pentagon.

And then it had it's own Eternal September moment. But everything seems to.
