Re: Gem.coop
#4I hope they tackle the actual main issue with Rubygems -- lack of any sort of code signing... (I know the functionality exists, but it's not required to publish in Rubygems, and off by default on gem install. In other words it's as if it doesn't exist)
The fash problem in the Rails ecosystem is next on the list, and I hope there is community consensus to fork this as well.

As I understood it, to secure (their words) the supply chain, they took ownership of the code and repo (which others disputed as being owned by them) and kicked out users from Github.
It is said the underlying cause is that devs push rv which is threatening RubyGems.

In short, a hostile takeover forced by Shopify through Ruby Central.
It was sparked after Ruby Central chose to platform an extremist figure prominently for their last RailsConf against the wishes of the sponsors, losing them a lot of sponsorship money, as well as community support.

Might be worth noting the figure in question is the creator of Ruby on Rails.

This is so incredibly one-sided that it misleads more than it informs.
The person they are talking about is DHH. Inviting the creator of Rails to speak at RailsConf – a conference for Rails – is not the outlandish behaviour this comment makes it sound like.
