For the record: I give zero fucks about Stallman’s gross personal habits. I save all my fucks for the way he systematically and consistently acts to push women, girls, disabled people, and other folks from marginalized groups OUT of software.

We shouldn’t
#cancelstallman because his ideas are abhorrent. We should do it because he has acted in abhorrent ways, deliberately & consistently, over 30 years, despite repeated feedback, & because in so doing he’s pushed countless women, girls, & others out of software.8 replies 160 retweets 669 likesShow this thread -

Having read him in the 90s and early 00s, I can say that he hasn't let an additional 20 years of fanboy adulation make him any more self-important now than he was then.

Because software has historically been a place that accepts those rejected by normal social circles. A great thing in theory, but it results in such communities being outright too accepting of bad behavior for the erroneous notion your code is detached from your other practices.
