The phrase "he doesn't like" is doing a lot of work in this whole thread isn't it? Makes it sound like Travis is scraping other people's data for not having the same favourite colour that he does. However, the people presented as examples in the README are nazis, scammers, homophobes and transphobes. It's an interesting way of minimising calls for genocide.

according to him (and you can’t ignore those examples are hand picked to support his agenda). Personally I’m tired of social vigilantism. Let the law punish these people if they’re really what he calls them. If they’re not harming you don’t go looking for trouble.
> Let the law punish these people One of the people he picked as an example is the law. He's a white supremacist cop from Illinois: https://accollective.noblogs.org/post/2022/04/01/magic-dirt-.... So what you're asking for can't and won't happen. "Some of those that work forces are the same that burn crosses."
Undoubtably, at high volume, he’s bound to get a few right. Still, I don't agree with the extrajudicial process, full stop. I’d rather have a few shit-stain racist internet trolls um trolling than decent people constantly under fire for dissenting viewpoints.
I'm betting the kind of genocide he likes escapes condemnation though.

Or is he also naming and shaming people who call for mass immigration to Europe, those demanding citizenship for illegal aliens in the US, advocates for 'asylum seekers' in Australian detention, etc?

Do you know what genocide means?
