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.

Ehh, what?! Basically 0 developers in the US have quit as a protest against literal totalitarianism, major and obvious corruption, the end of vaccines (will kill countless) and the end of USAID (already killed.. how many kids?).

But, sure, DHH.. that's where we draw the line!

FFS

Edit: maybe I misunderstood why they quit, quite confused. Still..

Edit 2: Unclear if this has anything to do with DHH? And it turns out I also disagree with some of his views. But, it still stands, he's writing a blog, not literally killing kids. Where's the mass quittings for those people?

Nothing, I'll give you that. It's just frustrating to see so little action taken against those with actual power who are doing quite horrible stuff

And what exactly do you want the RubyGems maintainers to do about the rise of fascism in the USA..?
