A week and a bit on UpCloud, deleting my DigitalOcean account after more than 10 years, and what DigitalOcean is doing to CSS-Tricks, one of the best places on the whole internet.
I appreciate the sentiment, but I think the reality is the number of people who are so upset over this that they switch providers… is a rounding error.
And additionally the vast majority of their money likely comes from large enterprise accounts, who couldn’t give two shits about dhh and omarchy, or who also actively support it, racist / fascist dog whistles and all
Digital Ocean grew because they targeted devs and hackers, and they introduced it into their companies. Same goes here. My personal account may not have been that big, but I also dropped DO from the list of recommend providers at work. They won’t be getting any new business from us. And when contract renewals start rolling around, projects will start moving to other providers.

Hey friends, your individual actions mean nothing, please continue supporting people making things worse.
Act in life knowing your individual actions mean nothing often.
