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.

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.

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.
