I’m guessing you’re referring to https://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/12004 https://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/12004 I came across it a while ago and bookmarked it to read later (but never found the time). I didn’t realise they were trying to get Matz to resign. I’m neither a Ruby developer – nor on Twitter so wouldn’t be too up-to-date on these issues. What does “triangulation” mean in this context?

They were trying in a very roundabout way, but it follows the pattern. Triangulation refers to when your primary aggressor has their associates perform social pressures (sometimes without them applying much themselves.) For lack of a better example, consider the aspect of Shunning in some religions/cults; If the leader thinks someone is out of line, word quickly spreads, and the entire group will focus their behavior on making the target feel unwelcome. Source: dealt with more culty shit than I ever wanted to, which is why these movements creep me out so much.
