What I said is that Shopify and a small subset of companies are contributing to either, which is a problem, because if any of them fail and especially if Shopify fails the community will be in a very bad position. That's the weakness, not that I somehow dislike them, but that if they're ever not here we have a problem.
Insofar as politics? I'm not biting on that, and it's a core reason I have you blocked on Twitter. I've seen how you treat people, and will not engage after this reply.

I am an independent developer and OSCP-certified penetration tester.
I focus on penetration testing, code auditing, Ruby and Ruby on Rails development, and exploit development.

So if I tell someone I don't agree with them, that's mistreatment? :) Fair enough.

I don't think that's true. What you are doing is scaremongering and asking for money so we can be safe from the dangers you are inventing. The only danger here is that there is an alternative to RubyCentral now, welcoming everyone not just the folks thinking the way they think and that puts RubyCentral into a tough spot.
But still, I wish that they will make through this and they will change their attitude and act on being inclusive not just talking about it.
Don't take me wrong, I think Shopify does an amazing job for the community to pay many Ruby and Rails contributors to work on open-source, but if Shopify would go bust tomorrow, we would still carry on pretty much as before. Just look at history, before Shopify became this successful, the progress in Ruby and Rails were kinda the same.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
