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!!")

What does hn refer to?

[–] timlyo@kbin.earth 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

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

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.

Live too long and become a villain

[–] Bronzebeard@lemm.ee 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] interdimensionalmeme@lemmy.ml 1 points 6 months ago

Because those are the equivalent of Hippies that turned Yuppies.

What kind of world have we come into where Hacker News is a pro corporation website?

Hackers used to be the antithesis of big corporations and capitalist overreach.
