The relentless AI focus and tone-deafness of the Drupal Association continuing to organize Drupalcon North America in the US - and in Florida of all states - have broken something inside me.

I love the tech. I loved the scene. I looked up to the leadership.

But we've grown so much apart in so many ways I'm not sure this village is for me anymore.

I never was a prolific contributor and I wouldn't be missed, but I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one drifting away.

@jpoesen I certainly feel this way. I'll continue with using Drupal in the ways I always have, and continue to do my work with my clients as I have, but that's primarily down to needing to make a living instead of wanting to be a part of the community.

This is what happens when the primary directional push of the project is coming from the perspective of the BDFL's VC funded marketing agency.
