Hey moron, this wasn't some small whiner, but a co-founder and critical figure in the TinkerPop management team.
But thank God ASF corporate got involved, overrode the Apache Project Management Committee and fired him over some dank memes.
FFS, you worthless assholes who've never accomplished anything in your miserable lives must live for moments like this where you can take real visionaries like Marko and treat them like the crap you are.
Now everyone using TinkerPop is going to have to start asking hard ques
If a corporation has rules for conduct, and you break them, why are you at all surprised.
I don't know about this project, or the person. But anytime someone whines about "woke" culture, you'll usually find that person engages in cyberbullying, trolling, libertarian, conservative, or otherwise wacky right-wing conspiracies.
All I can find connected to the guy is a twitter full of images while complaining about cancel culture.
He didn't do any of this on company time or in any official capacity. His twitter feed barely even has any followers. This is a ridiculous level of PC bullshit.
No. His new Twitter feed barely even has any followers. His old Twitter feed was banned for breaching Twitter's ToS.
If you're a no-name in a company you can generally get away with your personal time not affecting the company image. If you're a big shot somebody you should realise that public relations and image is a part of your job. He fucked that part up and lost his job as a result.

That's certainly true, but if you do that, there are people who may try to dox you and "thegarbz" won't help you speak freely. By comparison, when right wingers doxxed googlers that admitted to being, say, communist: (as reported by Wired) https://www.wired.com/story/in... [wired.com]
This "doxxing" was just literally listing their social media profiles, where they admitted to being communists. These innocent leftwingers were not fired, of course- google won't fire a leftist. By contrast, can you IMAGINE if any of them had a social media profile that described them as a "fascist"? No one would bother to distinguish between Pinochet or Hitler, they'd fire your ass instantly.
Now, they aren't actually after fasists- they are after EVERYONE WHO ISN'T THEM. They just had the most luck starting with extreme right wingers, then they moved on to the conspiracy theorists. Libertarians and "Trump supporters" are next, and they'll just go until no one effective can speak against them at all.

You forgot anti-vaxxers.
But fundamentally I agree: Freedom of speech is in practice being limited to an opinion corridor determined largely by big tech with support from the left in the USA. But it will also limit speech for other groups. I would think that the extreme left is next on the list since they are now a liability. But also soft censorship of people advocating alternative life style choices such as fringe religions, spiritualism, alternative diets and so on.
But there will of course be a backlash.
