When you do OSS, you must be ready to lose the hold you have on the project you created. You are GIVING, not lending (or renting) to the community.
I guess DHH is not ready to do this.
Not saying that he is not a key person in the #rails community. He obviously is. And I am VERY thankful for his work.
The community is mature enough to thrive on its own, and DHH is just not ready for this.
I get it.
I just think it's bad for the project's health.

Wow, a VP from a Core Member corp of The #Rails Foundation and a #RailsWorld 2025 speaker talking shit about AndrΓ© Arko on bskyβ¦
I just can't with these people. Really, really grinds my gears. π‘
Can you shed some light on what's happening in the #rails community? I understand the basics: dhh is an openly racist piece of shit, ruby central have no backbone,β¦
I'm more interested in how the community feels, and if there are emerging leaders and/or actions in addition to the Plan-Vert open-letter?
I've never been much into RoR, but I feel compelled to stay informed, and I'm always hopeful for inclusive community-led futures in tech.
Just made the PR to sign @Floppy's open letter for a community fork from #Rails, to get away from fascist DHH.
I'm not really using Rails any longer, so I don't know that my voice carries any weight here. But, for 14 years we ran openSNP on Rails, providing the world with an open data/science resource. And the rise of the far-right authoritarianism played a big role in the decision to shut it down (see https://tzovar.as/sunsetting-opensnp/).
So signing this feels right: https://github.com/Plan-Vert/open-letter
As this blog post is being published, we are sending out emails to all openSNP users with some news: OpenSNP will be turned off β and with that also delete all the data stored on it β on April 30, 2025. Given that the project has been part of my...
