After the Rubygems drama, I felt frustrated that I can’t escape evil people trying to dominate my life.

O Rubygems sofreu uma "mudança de direção" forçada por intervenção de empresas influentes no ecossistema Ruby, porém isso ficou em segundo plano quando o criador do Ruby on Rails novamente se envolveu numa "polêmica" por suas opiniões políticas merdas.

You know… Ruby Central’s takeover of rubygems GitHub org ONLY worked because it could be executed within seconds, and by doing so, prevent the possibility of revert.
If the ownership change was a PR it would never have been approved.
If RC is “right”, why did they need the atomic switch?

This page (rubygems.org/pages/suppor...) lists three Open Source Sponsors — Shopify, Gusto, and Sentry — and six sponsors under the RubyGems Supporter Plus tier. I suppose these sponsors pay more than $2,500 per year.
Anyway, I completely agree that this level of support is not enough.

If the Rails Foundation tried to take Rails from its maintainers, I would stand up for the maintainers, despite my political differences.
Rails is not owned by the Rails Foundation in the same way RubyGems projects were not owned by Ruby Central.
And neither are legitimately owned by Ruby Core.

Good news for the Ruby ecosystem.
RubyGems now has the same governance as Ruby itself. Matz and Ruby Core as stewards.
If Ruby Core has authority over where gems (by default) install from, this alignment makes sense.
