Complaining that they give money to people you don't like is not a good look when you want them to give money to people you do like.

Because being friendly works doesn't work. Open source maintainers have been screaming about funding for years. One dude comes along, adds some scripts on top of all the work of those maintainers, and gets millions in funding?

You can't expect people to be nice then. It's completely messed up.

"people you do like" in this case refers to a website that DigitalOcean owns. "people you don't like" is a singular (racist) guy who slapped a bunch of scripts on top of Arch and somehow receives hundreds of thousands of dollars for it.

I think it’s a very good look when the people you complain about are racists.

"People you don't like" is a great euphemism for racists

In this case you can judge for yourself if it's an overreaction. https://world.hey.com/dhh/wolves-sheep-and-gypsies-ba44af6a
