I’m surprised DHH made the blog post on the hey.com domain, since it’s also the domain of their email service.

If I was a customer I would be canceling my service because I really don’t want my emails to be associated with any type of controversial topic. Why doesn’t he post it under his own domain, rather than a company one?

I’ve used Basecamp in the past, and actually considered signing up for hey.com. Good thing I didn’t waste my money on it. Would be such a pain to have to switch my email address.



Hey can be used as a blogging platform (https://www.hey.com/world/), that would be the equivalent of deleting your GitHub account because someone published a controversial project.


DHH is a co-owner, so it's like leaving X because you know why
