This is the main issue IMO

Despite having fruitfully contributed to the network he is stripped of his name and his account is now known as “user4616250”.
Inspector Javert aah behaviour.
What can Stack Overflow's motivation possibly be to strip Luigi's account? Are their private equity owners in cahoots with health insurance executives?
It's pretty standard when a highly-publicized murder suspect's online profiles are discovered. Platform admins will typically disable/hide their accounts from the public while investigations/trials are ongoing. This is hardly unique to Luigi.
Do you have other examples? Because the article gave an example of a similar account that was not anonynized like this. Sure, accounts are often taken down, but the content isn't left up.

A connection I may be inventing comes to mind: all the CEOs making million dollar donations to the new administration in the US.
Basically, show you’re on the side of “law and order” and hope you’re not caught up in any purges.
Kiss the ring.

Stack Overflow has been toxic for a long time already. It's one of the things that a lot of people seem pleased to see AI devour.
I've read it is still well valued because people will keep asking questions there when LLM can't answer, so they remain a precious source of post LLM curated Q&A.
...for now.
Until it's just AIs answering questions asked by other AIs while human admins block human accounts..

Is there a mirror for Stacks content? I've been concerned for some time that they are a vital resource that a corporation could ruin at any moment.
You can download pretty much all of stackoverflow as ZIM files for self-hosting.

Stack Overflow seems to be doing a prompt job of that already
Headquarters seems to be:
70 White Lion Street, London, England, N1 9PP
To send all your angry letters too.
Definitely not any kind of HQ. I'd be surprised if more than one or two people go there for Stack Exchange. Mostly remote employees?
I used to live in that neighborhood. That must just be one of those places that gives people an address that looks fancy methinks
It’s a place called “Spaces” seems like companies rent a small room or so as a physical presence.
