It’s getting very difficult to contort any sort of story that could explain good faith from Ruby Central at this point.

4. It hasn’t explained to the community what kind of pressure it was under to perform this takeover or who were pressuring them.

5. It hasn’t rescheduled the Q&A that was promised to the community.

6. It has refused to come to the table and negotiate with the maintainers and/or community members.

As of right now:

1. Ruby Central is *still* in possession of the GitHub organisation and gems that it stole.

2. It hasn’t published any kind of justification for this.

3. It has threatened an ex employee for responsibly disclosing that it left him with root access to live production systems.

Every step of the way, we have engaged in good faith.

Every step of the way, they decided to treat us as disposable and shit on our reputations.

Ruby Central needs to take a real good look in the mirror, stop digging themselves into a deeper hole, and make some very significant and public changes.

Ruby Central said some really concerning things today. I don’t think they’re representing the situation accurately. andre.arko.net/2025/10/09/t...

The RubyGems “security incident”

Ruby Central posted an extremely concerning “Incident Response Timeline” today, in which they make a number of exaggerated or purely misleading claims. Here’s my effort to set the record straight. Fir...

This is the first release since I started contributing! A lot of my changes, like tests, fuzzing, benchmarks, nushell support, Intel Mac support and parsing the new download format for 3.3.x, are now released. It's been fun working on a new open source Rust tool.

just realized the dril drunk driving tweet also works for regular driving

wint @dril
drunk driving may kill a lot of people, but it also helps a lot of people get to work on time, so, it;s impossible to say if its bad or not,

I agree it is very unfortunate. At this point, I'm really much more interested in building new things and moving forward, so I appreciate your interest and engagement. <3

Ruby Central told me directly that they have chosen to exclude some former maintainers, including me, from the operator agreements. As far as I am aware, none of the former maintainers have had any permissions restored.

A generational fumble by Ruby Central is now complete.

Anyway, I'm happy that the people who disagreed decided to get up and Do Something By Coding. I love to see that and can 100% get behind it 👍

the reason I advocate for projects to have a code of conduct is because harassment is never okay. not only is harassment never okay, harassing families and coworkers is even worse. get out of here with that.

Brandon Weaver @baweaver.bsky.social · 11d

Ruby community: Look, we can be angry about what's happening, we can raise our complaints, but under no circumstances should anyone _ever_ harass someone's families, coworkers, or friends.

That is completely unacceptable, and wholly against the ethos of the language. We must do better.
