I appreciate the sentiment, but I think the reality is the number of people who are so upset over this that they switch providers... is a rounding error.

    And additionally the vast majority of their money likely comes from large enterprise accounts, who couldn’t give two shits about dhh and omarchy, or who also actively support it, racist / fascist dog whistles and all

    Digital Ocean grew because they targeted devs and hackers, and they introduced it into their companies. Same goes here. My personal account may not have been that big, but I also dropped DO from the list of recommend providers at work. They won't be getting any new business from us. And when contract renewals start rolling around, projects will start moving to other providers.

    Something website administrators could do is, block the DigitalOcean ASN (14061).

    Some configuration may be required, it's easier if you have some kind of WAF (firewall), but seeing that most traffic from their network are bots (92%), them being blocked would hurt their clients and inevitably lower their usage in the long run.
