When reached for comment by Gizmodo, a Reddit spokesperson added that there was “no sitewide filter for the word “Luigi” or expectation that users stop talking about Luigi Mangione.” They added that none of the incidents referenced in the Slate article were “connected to each other or to the upvote warning post.”

It’s a name nearly every New Yorker is familiar with, not to mention the nation. His alleged murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson on Dec. 4, 2024, captivated a country that has millions of citizens being pushed to the brink of financial ruin due to the healthcare industry.

The use of the word “manifesto” describing the writings allegedly found in accused killer Luigi Mangione’s backpack is wrong, according to Mangione’s attorney.
