Mastodon toot by the author (Filipa Mendonça-Vieira):

After the recent Rubygems drama, I felt anxious, and trapped, frustrated that I can’t escape evil people trying to dominate my life.

I found myself grieving, and mourning the future I grew up thinking we would have; but also feeling hope, that it’s not too late to stop enabling these people, and start choosing kindness.

I wrote about these feelings. Join me in building a better future:

Tldr: The are praising the historical person and their acheivements, while mourning the person they are now.
