- David Heinemeier-Hanson (DHH) has been criticized for holding racist and transphobic views.
- A call to action for the Rails Core team and Ruby community to cut ties with DHH and fork Rails to a new project.
- Proposal includes adopting a modern Code of Conduct and community governance.
- Support pledged for a forked Rails project that meets these criteria.
- Acknowledgment of the challenges but emphasizes the need to try.
- Respect for DHH's freedom of speech but asserts the community's right to disassociate from abhorrent views.
- Reference to 'Plan Vert' as a symbolic act of resistance.
- DHH's controversial writings are archived on archive.org to avoid directing traffic to his site.
- Many have voiced concerns about DHH's influence in the Rails and Ruby community.
- GitHub issues disabled on the repo to maintain focus and reduce unproductive discussions.
