#2Isn't this the reason why there's been such an uptick of talk about DHH lately?

#3All of this sucks, and it’s time for the community to move on.
It’s a bad look for the ruby ecosystem. Continuing to rehash, throw mud, and speculate at this point likely harms the greater community more than any “side” would “win”.

DHH stirred an uproar because of his political opinions. He had a post on his blog around the same time of the Rubygems drama; the community was already had heightened anxiety.

It would have been a better angle to title it "gem.coop - the new homebrew-like place to get your gems" and then talk of the advantages for users and the simplicity of the file change to use it.

Well that explains everything.

Related, but not the reason for it. DHH has been posting increasingly racist blogs.

Not sure if I really believe that.
The politics have been smouldering on forever. That governance event w/ Rubygems seems like a once in every twenty years kind of event. Unfortunately racist blog posts are like one every five seconds, you're kinda platforming somebody by trying to deplatform them for that. Like it or not 34% of people in the UK said they would vote for Reform

and you can't change that by finger wagging at those people, drop what you are doing and watch this
