is there a good explainer out there for the Ruby Central stuff for somebody not very familiar with the ecosystem?

are you familiar with A Song of Ice and Fire

Thread bsky.app/profile/nate...

You're not gonna find a really objective one tbh, because there are mostly two sides here and people are generally writing from some perspective that leans one or the other way…

Here's one pretty thorough one (rather anti Ruby Central): joel.drapper.me/p/rubygems-t... + joel.drapper.me/p/ruby-centr... joel.drapper.me/p/plan-vert/ joel.drapper.me/p/ruby-centr...

Actually, I think this one is fairly balanced:

Generally there are good people on both sides, and factors involved are: - a lot of people being (understandably) anti DHH, and DHH against them - Shopify which is close to DHH being the only main funder of RC (after another dropped b/c of DHH)

- Shopify apparently pushing them to trim the list of people w/ GH access because of security reasons + personal reasons (one guy thrown out was very anti DHH, but also apparently he's not a saint himself; he also recently started a new project that is somewhat alternative/competing to rubygems)

thanks! this is exactly what I was looking for
