I am ashamed of the fact that I’m stuck on #Rails because of the sunk costs of what I’ve already built, as are *so many* other project like Mastodon.
We cannot “just move”, the cost is enormous.
The Rails core team seem utterly compromised and under his spell. Nobody will speak out.
We need a hard #RailsFork. Now. And we need to coordinate to do it together and build a team.
I’m in. Who else?

@Floppy@mastodon.me.uk it’s grim for sure. As a new 3d printer owner and probable future manyfold user I am pleased that you’re calling it out, but the shame isn’t yours.
