Seems relevant: https://ruby.social/@getajobmike/115231677684734669

I'm just reposting it though. I haven't followed any of this myself.

> The unstated reason for this change was that many of the existing Rubygems maintainers have recently quit (including their only full-time engineer) due to their continued relationship with DHH.

Can someone expand on what this means? Is it a continued relationship between Ruby Central and DHH, or the maintainers and DHH? Why does the other party have a problem with that?

EDIT: It seems the post was clarified since I copy/pasted this, and it's RC and DHH. Why do the maintainers have a problem with this? I though the stated reason was about RC removing everyone's access with no warning.

DHH is a white supremacist. Here he complains about too many brown people in London.

Ok... wow. I was willing to give the benefit of the doubt, but hearing him decry the lack of "native Brits"[0] and support the Tommy Robinson march is... something.

> In 2000, more than sixty percent of the city were native Brits. By 2024, that had dropped to about a third.
