Stallman deserves neither gratitude nor solidarity.
His enablers, like Oliva, don't either.
#cancelstallman
After the Jacob Applebaum incident in 2016, the board of directors for the Tor project ALL resigned.
The structure they'd built & perpetuated was what allowed the problem to happen. Tor would never recover without a fresh start.
The @fsf won't either.
Similarly: just firing Travis K. didn't magically make Uber more ethical or inclusive. Like the @fsf, Uber was built as a monoculture - a cult of personality - from the start.
Uber remains a deeply unethical and untrustworthy company _precisely because_ they lopped off the head without dismantling the structure it built.
If the remaining board members of @fsf truly care about advancing the cause of free software, they will resign.
Let the organization rebuild.

Let me add here some comments from current @fsf board member @gknauth about my original thread from last week, listing 30 years of Stallman-related incidents.
First, he calls my previous threads "slanderous accusations" (despite the IN-THREAD receipts).pic.twitter.com/oyXp1FaHZ7
He goes on to insinuate that the accusations against Stallman amount to "high school gossip."pic.twitter.com/5eZTHmNk4e
He then uses the word "slander" again to characterize my statements of fact about a public figure, and defends Stallman for having done "great good."pic.twitter.com/WhTVm4Op8e
None of the other board members have made public statements. Based on the two we have, though, I see no indication that the @fsf is recoverable in its current state.
