Leaked screenshots show GitHub employees using the term “Nazi” in its internal Slack to protest the unexplained firing of an employee that used the same word
Now in protest, they're using Slack to call Nazis what they are — GitHub employees are protesting the firing … Tweets: @zoeschiffer , @bascule , @hshaban , @wwahammy , @find_evil , and @reckless Tweets: @zoeschiffer : The guy on the left still works at GitHub. The guy on the right was fired :/ https://twitter.com/... @bascule : That @GitHub would fire a Jewish employee in order to support a pro-Nazi employee, along with their ongoing ICE contract, has me seriously considering if I should start actively moving all of my projects elsewhere https://www.theverge.com/... Hamza Shaban / @hshaban : GitHub employees are protesting the firing of a Jewish colleague who was let go two days after he warned co-workers in DC to stay safe from Nazis. GitHub has still not offered a full explanation https://www.theverge.com/... @wwahammy : .@github has had more than enough time to address this and they clearly have not. While I don't think it's feasible to move some of my current projects off, I don't see how I can, in good conscience, continue to use it for new projects. https://twitter.com/... Jackie / @find_evil : Thanks to all GitHub employees who are fighting this rot from the inside right now. https://twitter.com/... Nilay Patel / @reckless : This story is utterly bizarre — “stay safe homies nazis are about” is a pretty relaxed real-time reaction to an attack on the Capitol. https://www.theverge.com/...
