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.

@SuperDicq @stripey @report_press
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.

@SuperDicq I don't agree with that and I've never been a fan of people inserting politics into software, I find it all performative along with the witch-hunt against him. I do think that he's said weird ass things and I think that people are too willing to coddle grown ass autistic men over standing up against rape culture and violence against women.
I still appreciate his contributions and use a lot of software he's written, but it doesn't mean I can't be disappointed as a woman because of the things he's said. I will admit the statements he made about Epstien's victims isn't unique and is a common viewpoint in the states. We literally had a president saying "grab em' by the pussy". Not to mention the article about Elon's inappropriate behavior with employees but that doesn't get as much attention as things RMS has written about.
I haven't contributed to free software, but I hope to contribute someday and maybe publish my own projects. I think that any focus on the free software community as being a hostile environment towards women is extremely insincere considering my experiences in corporate environments and academia. It's not different than performative people on mastodon writing off Pleroma. I wish that the Void devs didn't have public meltdowns like the guy from Graphene, but I'll still use their software. Pretty sure Debian had some random racist shit in the codebase for a while too. Nobody is writing off Debian and all it's derivative distributions.
I stopped using GitHub for a myriad of reasons, including Microsoft's involvement with ICE as a proud central american woman and daughter of immigrants. How many projects by so-called activists are currently on GitHub? It's all performative. I wish these people would shut up and actually listen to what women are actually saying. I know few women who are in tech, let alone devs who give a fuck about RMS. I'm just being honest.

And lets not forget this.
Coincidentally the revelation about that happened the same week of the slander/drama.
