DHH
https://github.com/neovim/neovim.github.io/issues/501A Neovim website issue argues that a quote from DHH should be removed because it "gives Nazi bar vibes" and reveals his desire to restore Europe to its ethnic roots. The submitter cites a specific Hey.com article, Three Sacred Cows That Must Die So Europe Can Live, as evidence of this stance.
The claim rests entirely on the submitter’s interpretation of DHH's political views rather than any technical merit or community consensus regarding the quote itself. With 607 users reacting positively to the complaint and only 12 negative reactions, the issue reflects a strong sentiment that associating Neovim with such rhetoric is inappropriate, though it offers no alternative content or specific policy violation beyond the subjective "vibe."
what others said
The Neovim site quietly removed the DHH quote after the thread flagged it as a "very bad quote" that left a "bad taste," with the removal already confirmed via a linked pull request. While most agreed the citation should go, the objection was specifically about the association rather than demanding a public condemnation of the maintainer for initially including it. The room accepted that quoting DHH’s technical advice like "Tests are money in the bank" without investigating his political stance was a reasonable mistake, not an endorsement of his views.
