We, the anonymous editors of the Stallman report, have published our investigation of Richard Stallman and the Free Software Foundation today to a general audience:
https://stallman-report.org
Our report exhaustively catalogues, analyzes, and offers a rebuttal of Richard Stallman's political program of sexual violence, catalogues credible allegations of misconduct, and documents the misconduct of the #FSF circa 2019 and 2021. Please read and share our work.
Boosts encouraged.

@report_press@mastodon.social It's been nearly 4 years since the open letter failed to achieve anything.
Get over it, bruh.

@report_press@mastodon.social Can I also just say that personally attacking people through an anonymous report is also a very lame thing to do?

@SuperDicq @report_press defending a known sex pest though, that's supa-coo 🙄

@stripey@meow.social @report_press@mastodon.social "known sex pest"
Having some controversial political opinions and that one Betsy story from 45 years ago are pretty far from being a sex pest.

@SuperDicq @stripey @report_press
What controversial political opinions are you referring to?
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from DaveMWilburn@infosec.exchange
@DaveMWilburn@infosec.exchange @stripey@meow.social @report_press@mastodon.social The same old quotes about things that are generally considered socially unacceptable to merely disagree on with the rest of society like age of consent and pornography.

I see, so you think that the question of whether grownups should be able to have sex with children is just something that we might respectfully "merely disagree" on?

@DaveMWilburn@infosec.exchange @stripey@meow.social @report_press@mastodon.social No, that's not what I'm saying at all.
A lot of people (including you apparently) are literally incapable of having a civil political discussion around the laws that govern sex without immediately painting the other side of the argument as disgusting pedophiles or something. There is a huge taboo around even discussing these things!
Like for example what should be proper age of consent? Should it be 16, 17, 18, or maybe even 21? If your answer differs only slightly from the norm in your region of the world you will be called a pedophile guaranteed.
Same when it comes to the banning of pornography that includes animals for example. We should be able to have a civil discussion if the criminalization of possession of these types of pornography can be considered censorship while keeping subjective morals of doing so in the first place about this out of the discussion.

I mean it was worse than that. rms literally said "voluntary" pedophilia is fine, it wasn't even about aoc. Afaik he retracted that statement but still very weird to say something like that in the first place. Pretty sure he never did anything of that nature to anyone tho.

@dushman@hollow.raccoon.quest @DaveMWilburn@infosec.exchange @stripey@meow.social @report_press@mastodon.social Yes, he retracted that statement a long time ago at this point, so I don't think it is a valid reason to remove him from the FSF.
I am indeed also very certain that he has not and does not want to abuse children.

Boils down to him saying weird shit on those subjects over the years. Wouldn't say he's a horrible person though. I'm not even a big fan of GNU/FSF.

@dushman @SuperDicq@minidisc.tokyo @DaveMWilburn@infosec.exchange @stripey@meow.social @report_press@mastodon.social I don't understand why so many people defend him hard, I don't think people would do mental gymnastics to defend the things he said/says if he wasn't RMS.

@teratology@hollow.raccoon.quest @dushman@hollow.raccoon.quest @DaveMWilburn@infosec.exchange @stripey@meow.social @report_press@mastodon.social As a free software activist I really notice how the attacks on Stallman are fracturing our community.
Some people are now fully discrediting the FSF or avoiding to use the GPL or GNU software at all simply because of RMS said something questionable once. This hurts the free software movement greatly.
If this was some random guy I wouldn't care or defend it, but as someone who is really closely involved with the free software movement my entire life and knowing Stallman personally this stuff really bothers me because I know that's all fabricated drama and insincererity.

I don't hate him but don't exactly like him either personally.

@dushman@hollow.raccoon.quest @teratology@hollow.raccoon.quest @DaveMWilburn@infosec.exchange @stripey@meow.social @report_press@mastodon.social That's fine. I don't necessarily agree with most of Stallman's political notes, especially on topics related to sex either.
I just can't stand the fact that we're getting another wave of polarization and hate for something that I thought we had solved back in 2021.
I think real diversity is working with people despite their differences, and Stallman and the FSF don't deserve to be boycotted.
We all have the mostly the similar goals in the end (even if you prefer BSD permissive licenses or call it "open source"), global software freedom. :gnujihad:

You have to thanks the FANGMANs for that.
