My good friend Merriam-Webster has this to say:
============================
Ludd·ite \ål«-ædÉt\ noun
[perhaps from Ned Ludd, 18th century Leicestershire workman who
destroyed
machinery]
(1811)
: one of a group of early 19th century English workmen
destroying
laborsaving machinery as a protest; broadly : one who is opposed
to
especially technological change
_ Luddite adjective
===============
So presumably the "Luddite" version of Xy would be Xy3.
