the only reason this is being kept up and locked and not deleted is to make it clear where Beehaw stands on Richard Stallman, which is: stop defending him, he is an awful person and he completely deserves to be put over the fire for his words and actions.

this is the attack on stallman
seems prett damning to me
also i'm going to let devault himself rebut this
also no: stallman being under attack for credible accusations and even non-retracted public statements is not an "attack on free software" but a much needed clean up. call it a refactoring of legacy assets, if you want.
The cult of Stallman continues to baffle me. The man is venom in the veins of the free software community and people just adore him.
I love the ideals of the free software movement but RMS is so toxic that I won’t associate myself with it while he’s tolerated.
I will defend the Free Software movement, but Stallman? Nah
He has said some fucked up shit to be fair. You can't deny the amazing efforts he's put into Free software, but as a person he's pretty dubious and not a great figurehead for the movement. Basically, thanks for all you have done, but ewwww...
Yay free software and lets fuck kids
Absolutely disgusting that you could read the report on Stallman and still defend him. Fucking vile
Fediverse and CSAM?
