TLDR: Drew DeVault may be viewing Loli images.

...Im kinda over drama "content" about persons in open source. I just want ~~to grill~~ to find cool libre software!

your tldr is kinda underselling it ngl

i also don't like drama - but i think this is important because this report shows that drew clearly did not care about the unethical takes of stallman when he created the stallman report, the report was an attack on the FSF and the free software community in general and people were unable to recognize this when the report was first published

the report was an attack on the FSF and the free software

Stallman is not the FSF. The FSF is not the free software community. The free software community is not free software.

I'm so tired to people presenting these things as if they are equivalent.

nobody said stallman is fsf

the report also targets the fsf:

To all members of the present-day Voting Members and Board of Directors who were contemporaneous with the 2019 scandal and the associated patterns of misconduct, we urge you to step down from your posts and allow new leaders to fill your roles. Namely:

  • Alexandre Oliva
  • Geoffrey Knauth
  • Gerald Sussman
  • Henry Poole

In particular we call upon Mr. Knauth to uphold his 2021 pledge to resign “as soon as there is a clear path for new leadership assuring continuity of the FSF’s mission and compliance with fiduciary requirements”.
