Gonna cancel my account here because the admins will not take a stand against fascist and racist members and organizations on here. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

i spent weeks writing this essay, time i could've spent with my family, enjoying myself, literally anything else

it's resonated with hundreds of people, which is nice, thank you all for the nice messages.

i didn't cry while writing this essay but i just had a string of dms with a rails core member, and i'm crying now.

people who sit on rails core may not feel like David is humiliating them, but i don't think you're paying attention.

i'm sad to see that my words were wasted.

Ruby and Rails could have used real actual leadership like the PSF does for Python, years ago.

I don’t think it’s too late, but it would take a lot of effort and foremost the willingness of the community to cut the various metastasizing cancers out.

the former maintainers of Bundler and RubyGems have a proposal: we want to move Ruby forward https://andre.arko.net/2025/10/26/we-want-to-move-ruby-forward/

We want to move Ruby forward

On September 9, without warning, Ruby Central kicked out the maintainers who have cared for Bundler and RubyGems for over a decade. Ruby Central made these changes against the established project policies, while ignoring all objections from the maintainers’ team. At the time, Ruby Central claimed these changes were “temporary". However, None of the “temporary” changes made by Ruby Central have been undone, more than six weeks later. Ruby Central still has not communicated with the removed maintainers about restoring any permissions. Ruby Central still has not offered “operator agreements” or “contributor agreements” to any of the removed maintainers. The Ruby Together merger agreement plainly states that it is the maintainers who will decide what is best for their projects, not Ruby Central. Last week, Matz stepped in to assume control of RubyGems and Bundler himself. His announcement states that the Ruby core team will assume control and responsibility for the primary RubyGems and Bundler GitHub repository. Ruby Central did not communicate with any removed maintainers before transferring control of the rubygems/rubygems GitHub repo to the Ruby core team. On October 24th, Shan publicly confirmed she does not believe the maintainers need to be told why they were removed. While we know that Ruby Central had no right to act the way they did, it is nevertheless clear to us that the Ruby community will be better off if the codebase, maintenance, and legal rights to RubyGems and Bundler are all together in the same place.

There’s so many people going mask off because they think they can get away with it.

They should all be ostracized. Fuck every single one of these sloppy turds.

I’ve reported the Ruby Central account on here for harassment.

I promise you, Rails or Ruby doesn't need racist assholes to thrive.

Pinky swear!
