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.

user4616250 will now be a famous meme. "How do we fix healthcare? We call user4616250."

It’s like squid game where they identify you by a number. Long live user4616250

[–] Dasus@lemmy.world 43 points 20 hours ago

Anytime a CEO does something questionable; "/ping user4616250"

"He knew that man was me. Without a second glance! That Micky Ds employee spotted me. The crime stoppers bounty is his chance!

Why should I try to hide? Why should I go unkown. When I have come so far. And struggled for so long?

If I speak, I am condemned. If I stay silent, they have won!

I am the ceo slayer that got away. They all are looking at me. How can I abandon them? How would they live. If I am not free?

If I speak, I am condemned. If I stay silent, I am damned!

Who am I? Should not this wage slave benefit. Pretend I do not feel his agony. This innocent who can be set free.

Who else should face their judgment. Who am I? Can I conceal myself for evermore? Pretend I am the man I was before? And hide my crime until I die.

Be no more than an alibi? Must I lie?

How can I ever face my fellow men? How can I ever face myself again? My fate belongs to capitlism, I know. I made that bargain long ago. I gave them hope when hope was gone. I gave them strength to journey on.

[He appears in front of the court]

Who am I? Who am I? I'm Luigi!

[He unbuttons his shirt to reveal the scares of a botched surgery]

And so UHC, you see it's true. This man bears no more guilt than you! Who am I?

A musician needs to write a catchy tune to put the name to so people will remember the numbers.

Get Vikas Music, he's based enough to put it to eurobeat.

[–] jawa21@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

It will likely take months, but I'm gonna try. I might give up before it is done, though.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 5 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

I believe in you. If it isn’t the new 867-5309, hopefully it will at least be the next 6060-842.

Nice and catchy, but it needs to be catchy with more digits. Tommy "Tutone" Heath is still alive. I'm just saying.
