π¨ **BREAKING NEWS** π£
The creator of the most popular #OpenSource #Rails application as measured by GitHub stars (Mastodon), none other than @Gargron himself, has signed the βPlan Vertβ open letter calling for Rails Core and the #Ruby community to cut ties with DHH.
The symbolic importance of this act *cannot* be overstated. This is HUGE. Mastodon is approaching Rails itself in stars with 49.1k vs. 57.6k.

The good news is all their blustering and peacocking is in fact a sign that the critics are getting under their skin. They simply are unable to ignore us, so they mock and jeer us.
Keep it up folks! Nothing bothers them more than the truth.

Stay classy!
