(I'm not a fan of the HN submissions which are short, anecdotal blogposts, that leave you questing for the rest of the story across the internet. I think all those previous ones were of that format. Discussions that start in medias res and assume you've been following every new development daily from the beginning).

Understood. This is collecting the various developments.

However, this isn't some isolated story that happened a week ago and nobody knows what's happened in the days since. As evidenced by the many discussion comments many have been following the developments/commentaries. Each of those posts were appearing as the story developed and/or referred to the initial overarching incident. Some even reference the other posts as part of the development. My thing of course when we get to this 'long-form' coverage is must we then repeat all of the prior discussions? Perhaps, but there's the prior discussion links anyways.

Ruby's fine. They survived a group of activists trying to cancel Matz a few years ago as well.

Btw, on X, Matz is re-posting DHH's comments on CoCs and Japanese articles that are pro-DHH.

American activists != Ruby community.

I'm not familiar with this event, do you have any links? Cursory internet search didn't reveal anything.

This is some info about the event. There was lots of people on Twitter angry about it. In the end it's mostly been forgotten by non-Rubyists, but Matz, DHH and others have brought it up in part due to recent events.

Seems they still think they're just not communicating their theft correctly..
