🚨 **BREAKING NEWS** 📣

The creator of the most popular #OpenSource #Rails application as measured by GitHub stars (Mastodon), none other than @Gargron himself, has signed the “Plan Vert” open letter calling for Rails Core and the #Ruby community to cut ties with DHH.

The symbolic importance of this act *cannot* be overstated. This is HUGE. Mastodon is approaching Rails itself in stars with 49.1k vs. 57.6k.

This and more in my latest #RubyCentralTakeover update here:

Ruby Central is Not Behaving in Good Faith, and I’ve Got Receipts

The drama never ends, but I am here to take a stand and do something about it.

Tobi Lütke y'all. CEO of Shopify y'all. 🤡

The good news is all their blustering and peacocking is in fact a sign that the critics are getting under their skin. They simply are unable to ignore us, so they mock and jeer us.

Keep it up folks! Nothing bothers them more than the truth.

Two large giants looking at a small guy meme. blue giant on the left is labeled Rails Community, orange giant on the right is labeled DHH, and the tiny little guy at the bottom with a tiny sword is labeled Some low-T loser calling for his resignation.

“a safe harbor of redemption is how we save their souls and close the rift”

They say every villain is the hero of their own story. 😂

At this point, it's just embarrassing for DHH. He comes across so weak, running scared. I believe he has suffered a grievous narcissistic injury.

Keep up the pressure campaign folks! It's working! 👏👏

Sure got some high-caliber smarts over there on the former birdsite. IroncladDev, firing guns by day, posting DHH memes by night, and making fun of "angry slum-dwelling indians" along the way.

Stay classy!

The “Plan Vert” open letter to request that #Ruby on #Rails disassociate from DHH is only 7 signatures away from reaching 100.

It includes a former Rails core member, Eugen Rochko creator of Mastodon, Aaron Sumner of Everyday Rails, Ryan Bigg author of many Rails books, Lucas Dohmen author of “The Rails Way” series, Peter Boling maintainer of OAuth gems, Denis Defreyne creator of nanoc, and many others.

This is a significant milestone!

Imagine being such a small-minded, petty individual that you proudly advertise that the *main branch of your repository* isn't named "main". Because calling it "master" will really own the libs…zomg we're all quaking in our boots at his gigachad demonstration of superiority.

It's as dumb as dumb can get.

Do YOU want this person maintaining YOUR #OpenSource code repositories??

In reply to questions of “can we go back to master branches too” DHH replies “Yes, Omarchy is running on master” and links to his article last year labelling the industry’s change from master to main “a good faith exploit”

🎉 It happened! “Plan Vert” reached the 100+ signatories milestone! 👏

If you think the #Ruby on #Rails framework & community deserves better leadership than a far-right "anti-woke" agitator who openly praises Trump & Elon Musk and is repulsed by large black women…and therapists…all while accusing his perceived enemies of being supporters of violence (whew, that list goes on and on!), you too can sign the letter! 😅

@jaredwhite Man, comparing Rails and Django is just impossible here. Compare this guy to the creators of Django and it’s night and day. I remember at the Snakes vs Rubies event way back in the day, the moderator asked why people should use one project over another. DHH went on this obnoxious ramble about the purity and beauty of Rails. @adrian responds simply with, “We have Welsh”. He was talking about the internationalization work they did. And that was really about a deep focus of inclusion.
