Nah, DHH has too much power and authority to be "cancelled". One person pulled his donations - a very generous continuous gift - because he didn't want to fund Ruby Central if they continued to platform bigotry.
Ruby Central screwed themselves by relying on basically two large donors for their funding, and then offended one of those two donors.
Many people trying to cancel him is still a "cancel campaign" in my book. Just a failed one. IMO, it's pretty similar to the last cancel campaign against DHH & his associates https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42593223
The term "canceled" seriously needs to be retired.
If I understand correctly, Sidekiq's owner pulled his funding from Ruby Central because of his concerns with DHH. That's... one person.
Of course, many dislike DHH's views. Others like him more for his views. He is outspoken about controversial topics. Obviously this garners him fans, and detractors. Using terms like "canceled" is deeply useless at best.
Ok there it is. That would explain why they’re being so cagey. I thought there had to more to this.
