Perhaps, but actively saying things like “most importantly, we can remember that this is how DigitalOcean treats the open source maintainer community, and stay away from their products going forward.”

Which is not constructive. I think DO should sort this out and there’s any number of decent options just in this HN thread, but this post is only going to help if it generates enough negative publicity on HN for DO to recognize. In and of itself, it’s just another fed-up dev.
