The “Plan Vert” open letter to request that #Ruby on #Rails disassociate from DHH is only 7 signatures away from reaching 100.

It includes a former Rails core member, Eugen Rochko creator of Mastodon, Aaron Sumner of Everyday Rails, Ryan Bigg author of many Rails books, Lucas Dohmen author of “The Rails Way” series, Peter Boling maintainer of OAuth gems, Denis Defreyne creator of nanoc, and many others.

This is a significant milestone!

🚨 **BREAKING NEWS** 📣

The creator of the most popular #OpenSource #Rails application as measured by GitHub stars (Mastodon), none other than @Gargron himself, has signed the “Plan Vert” 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 drama never ends, but I am here to take a stand and do something about it.

Today, I discovered that in #Rails 8, the command for setting up a fresh database has changed from `db:migrate` to `db:prepare`. This caught me off guard since it wasn’t mentioned in the [Rails 8.0 release notes](guides.rubyonrails.org/v8.0/8_…).

Thankfully, I found it documented in the [ActiveRecord CHANGELOG](github.com/rails/rails/blob/8-…).

However, testing migrations now requires `rails db:migrate:reset`, which feels far from intuitive.

Hey folks!
As part of my new year resolutions, I decided it's time to pass the torch for the @crossposter maintenance to someone else.
This is not about maintaining the service, but the tool itself, the dev side of it.

If you're into #ruby, #RoR and you used the crossposter, reach out: github.com/renatolond/mastodon…

Please boost for reach 😀
