Canceling "Hey"

Canceling Hey subscription after DHH compared Roma people to wolves in a blog post.
The author details canceling their $99/year Hey subscription after four years and $396 paid, following DHH's post comparing Roma people to wolves. DHH wrote: "When gypsies take over public spaces, you deport them." The author argues the analogy is false because wolves are all predators, but Roma people include both good and bad individuals. They advocate for individuated enforcement of existing laws rather than mass deportation. The author applies the "missing mood" concept, noting DHH's post lacks acknowledgment that innocent Roma people exist among those causing problems.
What commenters are saying
Commenters overwhelmingly condemn DHH, with many noting a pattern of far-right sympathies. One commenter traces DHH's decline to 2021 when he caused mass employee departures at Basecamp. Another argues the post uses a false analogy and questions DHH's judgment. Some defend DHH, claiming he merely wants to deport foreigners sleeping in parks. A Scandinavian commenter defends the group-solidarity perspective, arguing low-skill migrants strain welfare systems. One commenter criticizes the author for excessive charity, saying sufficient evidence of malice exists.
