From the talk it’s clear, Rails needs to be forked.

isn't https://mosscap.dev/ a fork?

  • Yet to be determined if they actually ship or do stuff at a reasonable rate. It only has any notoriety because of the subject matter and jumping on the hate-DHH train.

    I guess they've been "laying the groundwork" of a fork that claims to just want to rename things and do little else for over a month?

  • Heh. It's always funny how people like that don't see their irony of being "inclusive" of "all backgrounds" just after having made a long list of people who they will throw out immediately for vague transgressions that are based on rumors and innuendo.

    • Where's the irony? They are happy for anyone to be a part of their community, unless you are making other in their community feel unwelcome. It's spelled out in their code of conduct for you. If you're making innuendos that make other people feel unwelcome, you are not welcome

    • List of people thrown out as per the linked site: > nazis, transphobes, racists, or any kind of bigotry

      Which part is the vague transgression?

  • So it seems this started because of DHH. Let's judge the technology by the technology, else we are just taking a holier-than-thou approach whereby we think we are better than others because we don't commit certain sins, which is a real problem because when we look inwardly and honestly we shall see that we are guilty of many of the same sins. Let's judge the technology for the technology itself and leave personal ideology out of it. My 2 cents (which will inevitably be downvoted)

    • To be clear for anyone reading, the “personal ideology” here is racism with a white supremacist leaning.

    • Aside from the actual politics, DHH is clearly in "fuck you mode". I certainly don't trust that he's going to make decisions in the interest of the broader rails community.
