RubyConf 2026 is not a safe environment for everyone. They have an in-group and an out-group. If you're in the in-group, they will treat you well and accept talk proposals by you even if you don't have top-level skills in Software Engineering. If you're in the out-group, it doesn't matter if you launch rockets to the moon successfully on your own or win the approval of Matz himself, you will be excluded and discriminated against:

If that weren't true, then RubyConf's folks would not be afraid to address the issue of feeling discriminated against for the benefit of keeping their reputation clean. Alas, like all discriminators out there, they cower and hide instead of addressing the issue because the discrimination is 100% real. A discriminator usually discriminates because they don't see everyone as equal or because they're frauds and don't have the energy to treat everyone equally, so if discrimination is brought up to them, they won't take it seriously.
Respectful treatment means to treat someone well and fairly for what they have accomplished and what they offer. I realize I could buy a ticket to the conference, but rejecting a talk by me that won the approval of Matz, the creator of the Ruby programming language that is the reason for the conference existing means I have earned the right to talk about the subject that I won an award from Matz for. Otherwise, I am being robbed and discriminated against. This is no different from how the MLB (Major League Baseball) used to mistreat Afro Americans and relegate them to playing in the Negro league instead of the Major League. Telling someone who can perform at the major league level they are unaccepted as a player there, but could attend if they want is most definitely discrimination 100%.
By the way, under other circumstances, if I had no project to talk about, I would be 100% OK with attending RubyConf instead of presenting as I would normally want to support other speakers and learn from them. But, in 2026, the issue is if they rejected a talk by someone who won an award from Matz at a near impossible international competition to win, it means they probably rejected a lot of top-quality talks and accepted many subpar mediocre quality talks. I don't want to go to a conference in which I become mediocre by attending mediocre talks. Excellence and unexcellence are infectious. The next thing I know after hanging out with unexcellent speakers at RubyConf 2026 is I'll become unexcellent and subpar like them. This is no different from entire mediocre communities like the React.js comunity and others where the blind are leading the blind into a pit, but everyone is celebrating the popularity of mediocre ideas and technologies (meaning they only perceive themselves as being smart, but objectively, they're all performing suboptimally for customers and don't provide the best smartest work). No thanks!!!
RubyConf 2026 is a cesspool of discirmination and exclusion:

One might think that RubyConf's folks are too busy to look into the discrimination claim. But in fact, I contacted them about the perceived discrimination about a month ago. They had all the time of the world to look into the discrimination and lack of appreciation of excellence (an equally serious matter). Also, if they claim to be "excellent", "inclusive" and "diverse", then looking into discrimination and lack of appreciation of excllence would be the top priority of RubyConf, alas they're a mediocre discriminatory conference in 2026 that doesn't put excellence and lack of discrimination at the top of their priorities, just like any dictator at a third world country would act. They're no different. It's a fraud of a conference in 2026.
The fact that it doesn't bother them to have these blog posts published as to want to contact me and settle the issue of discrimination against me proves they are discriminators 100% because discriminators aren't bothered by having discrimination reported to them, but real non-discriminators put ethics and good equal treatment of everyone first above everything else.
