The controversy surrounds David Heinemeier Hansson, who has posted strident anti-vax and anti-immigrant views

1Password faced immediate backlash from customers this week over a $300,000 pledge in support of a Linux distro created by David Heinemeier Hansson, who has regularly published overtly racist blog posts that include comments calling for deportation of ethnic minorities in Europe.

The popular password manager is now a “distinguished corporate patron” of Omacom, the nonprofit foundation that oversees a popular Linux distribution known as Omarchy.

One viral blog post declared that 1Password “Supports the Ethnic Cleansing of Europe” because of the donation. Others on social media asked for suggestions for alternative password managers so they would not support the funding of a project from Heinemeier Hansson, better known as DHH.

    However, not everyone believes that. It is not fair to claim a monopoly and ostracize team members who might disagree with you.

    Karimov is definitely telling on himself there. If you think it’s “not fair” to ostracize racists, you’re a motherfucking racist!

    1Password is now outed as a NAZI organization. Period.
