I've been a diehard free & open source software user, contributor, and backer since college in the 90s. But at this point, I would rather run proprietary software that I can NEVER see or change if the alternative is to run software licensed by the FSF.

I'm done. The free software community looks the other way while they build their empires on licenses that sustain Stallman's power.

Hey
@fsf - fire your President and Board Chair. He just sent an email to the MIT computer science community claiming that sex with an underaged girl is not rape. I know you know about him and his 'problematic' ideas already. Just letting you know that WE KNOW.23 replies 482 retweets 1,400 likesShow this thread -
And also,
@fsf, while we're at it, lemme let you in on something else: Your refusal to part ways with him - despite well-known incidents that have pushed women & others out of free software for decades - might have been ok 10 years ago. Maybe even 2 years ago. It's not ok now.6 replies 113 retweets 780 likesShow this thread -

The fourth
@fsf board member is Benjamin Mako Hill -@makoshark - seems super involved with Wikipedia, which is also known as an extremely hostile community towards women I guess I shouldn't continue to be surprised but I keep hoping

You don't know Mako, so you've decided to pronounce judgments against him based on having something to do with Wikipedia? What in the actual? You are *not* helping with this Machiavellian call out bullshit. You are fueling those who doubt women by making false accusations!

That's cool. I actually know Mako, so your tweet was the actual garbage. How awful to think it's ok to spread awfulness about people you don't know or have any concept of. Good luck with that.
