"Woke" Conspiracy Lead By Schneems et al Trying to "Cancel Culture" Rails Lead
What’s ahead in 2023 in rubyland? I am not making it up my “good old friends” - Richard Schneeman (Schneems) and Brandon Weaver - that perma-banned “cancel cultured” for life my humble self from r/ruby & ruby-talk (see r/planetruby for some background) are now leading a conspiracy to “cancel culture” DHH from rails.
Can it get any more absurd than that? What’s your take on the absurdity in the name of “wokeness” in rubyland in 2023. Whom do you want to “cancel culture”? Let’s conspire ;-). What if you are next? (Hint: If you are a random nobody like my humble self - nobody cares - they will tell you to “move on”).

Dear friend. I have seen all your posts and everything is well intended. Life is too short to waste you precious time on people who are full of themselves. All this smugness and self-righteous is something no-one needs. Ruby and Rails are in bad shape and people are leaving because the train of wokeness had arrived and everyone has hopped on. As for Scheems, who is this guy? Really, someone who posts that he got 4x vaxxed, has the Ukraine flag on his profile just like everybody else(where were you people in 2014 when 14000 Russian speaking people were shelled and died by the nato-supported Kiev based nazis) and puts his/him pronouns online? Really? Tell the idiot that Uche Nwaneri had died. Uche had called for the unvaccinated to be jailed. Now the guy is dead because of the vaccine complications. As for Weavor, is this him/her/whatever -> https://dev.to/baweaver? Who in their right mind would give any attention to someone who labels himself: “Autistic / ADHD, He / Him”. Weavor, did you forget to get your pills before starting the cancel culture with Scheems and the other losers. DHH could not give a f..ck. He’s a millionaire and genious already. You could not be anything beyond a retard.
@GERALD: I don’t believe finger pointing is helping anyone that is reading RubyFlow… Also radical opinions like “stupid” are IMHO quite offensive. Just look at the slogan at the top: “Made a library? Written a blog post? Found a useful tutorial? Share it with the Ruby community here or just enjoy what everyone else has found!”. Is your post doing ANY of those things!? @PETER COOPER said he is open to allow some discussions here, and I personally support your work, but this went far, far out of control…
The Rails community is the heart of Ruby, thus, why not debate out in the open what’s ahead in 2023? Code is all about people (and, thus, community). Asking for yet another ban and censoring (or is “cancel culturing”) this humble post is really sending the wrong message, don’t you think? PS: Happy new year. Prosit 2023! Greetings from near Vienna, Austria.
Also radical opinions like “stupid” are IMHO quite offensive. Update: I changed stupid to absurd and stupidity to absurdity.
Update from the r/rails mod (is that you Richard Schneeman?)
You’ve been banned from participating in r/rails
Note from the moderator:
I’m cancel culturing your unwoke ass so you can cook off for a bit
why is it that every time there’s some drama, you @Gerald, are at the heart of it… what’s your problem dude?
I’m not deleting this post because while I don’t find it very edifying or in the spirit of the site, it is a discussion of sorts and can act as a record of Gerald’s discontent over this matter (as well as of any response from others). Gerald is a good contributor to this site and has a strong record of contributions to the Ruby community so as long as this sort of content doesn’t escalate in frequency, I will keep an eye on things and let it rest for now.
Thanks tolerating posts that highlight the absurdity and intolerance in the name of inclusing and welcoming better world for all. About: every time there’s some drama, you @Gerald, are at the heart of it – I am not really a fanatic one way or another (that is, extreme right or extreme left - I guess it is the intelectual integrety that keeps me going with documenting the madness - I always try to cover both sides and add a touch of humour (and I put the documents on github so in theory or practice any corrections & comments are welcome). See https://chooseaconduct.github.io/#case-studies-of-code-of-conduct-cancel-culture-out-of-control-power-abuse for example. Or for a work-related bullying / you are fired or is that “you are cancel-cultured” incident see https://github.com/bigkorupto/mammad-kabiri-uniqa Trying to live with intelectual honesty is not always a joy.
I’ve seen posts on Mastodon calling DHH a white supremacist because of this article: https://world.hey.com/dhh/the-waning-days-of-dei-s-dominance-9a5b656c.
The bottom line is that people are people, and as such you are bound to offend some no matter what you say or do. And if people find a way to “fight back” against something that offends them, they will. I think DHH would tell you that dealing with that is just part of being alive.
Even Jesus had a cancel culture after Him. Not comparing DHH to Him. Just saying that it can happen to any of us.
It is very sad that sick WOKE idiots are infiltrating into good project.
“Just say NO to WOKE!”.
