The perfect cancel culture tool.

Written by someone who got fired from Twitter for spending way too much time making a political mess of the Scala community. Some people just can’t separate politics from literally everything else so they spend their best years and free time writing tools to cancel and harass people they don’t like and insist other communities act they way they want. Pretty sad, really.
For the record I wasn't fired by Twitter. Not sure where you're getting your information from, but it's not very connected to reality.

I remember reading this the day you posted it. I honestly really looked up to you as a Scala community member and open source evangelist. I even attended the talk you hosted at Twitter on using Kleisli arrows for HTTP request composition and processing. I have no issue with your political beliefs but as I stated think it’s quite disappointing to see people invest so much energy into destructive social vigilantism.
Yeah, Travis seems to have been on a crusade against his detractors for a while now. See also https://github.com/travisbrown/cancel-culture
