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 have no love for brian thompson or ceos but the canonisation of a well off wealthy rich kid from a family of republicans is a bit disturbing.

He's closer to you in class and status than Brian Thompson ever was. How fine a comb do you want to use to divide us? Where's the line?

[+] cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone -9 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

what does this have to do with dividing us? i mean they're both not close to me. they're both wealthy people from well off families. i think instead of donating a bunch of money to him, people should start donating to people facing vast sums of medical debt.

Instead of people paying for ridiculous amount of medical debt due to inflated amount of medical bill due insurance companies. Govt can pay for their own people medical coverage who are paying tax for them to run the govt.

sure but that's not likely to happen with republicans in government.

[–] rasakaf679@lemmy.ml 5 points 14 hours ago

If i have to say both are similar. They work for the ultra rich. They both don't care about common people, you and I both. That's why Luigi mangione did what he had to do. Making the rich know their place. Whether he is rich or not doesn't matter. We needed to send the message across.

People do - through tax but the rich divert the funds through policy using laws that they've shaped to benefit themselves rather than the nation.

Honestly, if anyone has a chance of murdering the rich and setting a precedent of self defence over social murder, it's another rich who can afford an excellent lawyer to see out the lengthy court case.
