> shows a moderator of /r/rails rewriting history, implying Dave not going to RailsConf 2022 was his fault, along with airing bizarre grievances like "We inserted snark at DHH in a Rails release candidate."

Yeah, I've unfortunately been watching this in real time over the years, and the bad faith from these guys is just on another level. First, they were fairly overt about what they'd done because they were proud of it. Later, they mischaracterized it through rewriting history. And these days, they just don't talk about it at all (notably, there isn't a word about it in the article linked above).

Here's another example: the original Reddit thread from 2022 talking about DHH being uninvited, where the same person abused his moderator powers by actually just outright banning anyone who dared to talk about why it actually happened:

There were a lot more interesting conversation on twitter at the time.

Interesting I am seeing a lot of these unfolding then and now. And in hindsight Rails is now much better because Rails Foundation. Now if we can do the same for Ruby itself.
