Digital Ocean ended their $50/month sponsorship of GNOME and FlatHub and went radio silent on CSS-Tricks right around the time they found a spare three million dollars to burn on “sponsoring” a high-profile racist’s dotfiles repo.

Impossible to see this as anything but a statement of their values.
I would have tagged them here, but just in case there was any doubt left as to the nature of the company’s boot-licking aspirations:

If Digital Ocean has decided that CSS-Tricks is — in the most generous weasel-coded terms I can muster — no longer a value-add given their current goals, and they don’t want the potential backlash from shuttering it hanging around their necks anymore, well, they have emails awaiting their responses.
