"Actually, the Ruby community ripped itself apart a decade ago and has never changed and still suffering from the consequences except with the recent thing with the founder" is not a strong argument

No, but listing things that happened over the course of over a decade, some of which are well resolved and others (like why’s leaving) are questionable how they’re an indication of drama.

He left public programming, including Scratch, entirely.

> things that happened over the course of over a decade

Bad things happening to contributors year after year for a decade shows a toxic community that doesn't change even over a long period of time

The latest harm is just the continuation of what has been happening since the beginning

> some of which are well resolved

Resolved? Decisions were made, but the tensions were never resolved and people were hurt.

> He left public programming [...] entirely.

Yeah. That's what happens when someone is destroyed after years of their hard work is treated like nothing.
