I have *no* time to do this, but serious question, who would actually be up for using or helping with a community-driven hard fork of #Rails? I doubt the #RailsFoundation will do anything, TBH. Can we show some willing? Boosts welcome for wide community input.

My Fediverse feed has been pretty good at not becoming a perpetual doom machine, but the state of the world is *so* fucked that the doom is even getting through here. I can't even imagine what it's like outside my nice little bubble.

So so lovely to meet lots of the #SocialWeb/#ActivityPub dev community in person at #FOSDEM. As @Andy Piper said, building the #Fediverse is a team effort and if we work together, we absolutely can do this. And we *must*. ❤️

AI grift stocks collapsing simply because someone did the thing more cheaply just goes to show how much of a house of cards it was. Nothing but a hype balloon, and as soon as someone punctures it, the entire industry is flying round the room making farting noises.
