Tom 🇪🇺🇺🇦🇩🇰🇬🇱🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️@hasani Ruby is more that DHH, like the US is more than Trump, even though you might feel other wise. It’s just that they both shout for a lot of attention.
Ruby community is awesome.
@purelyatom I was introduced to Ruby through Rails and while I can appreciate the great effort to being friendly for developers, I do agree with the post “Ruby has a DHH problem”.
The silence around his increasingly racist rhetoric is the real problem imo.
I’m just a single dev, but how many other potential ruby devs looked at the community (especially at DHH) and decided “Nah, I’m good” and went and did something else?

Eric Schultz@hasani @purelyatom there is too much silence. A lot of us haven't been silent and demand change but we haven't gotten there yet https://github.com/Plan-Vert/open-letter?tab=readme-ov-file
Sam Livingston-Gray@hasani @purelyatom yeah, this is exactly what I've been trying to get people to understand for over a decade. I've mostly been able to get along by trying to ignore DHH being awful, but as a very senior cis white dude, that's [somewhat] easier for me to do 🫠
I've been motivated to stay because Ruby is such a great language for *my* brain, but even I'm starting to look around for the exit signs.
Nick Sutterer@hasani @purelyatom Interesting, thanks for publishing!
