Twitter at the speed of parenting
Reminders:
1. The @fsf board is still run by Alexandre Oliva, who has more compassion for Stallman than for his harassment victimspic.twitter.com/S6RmfjvXCC

3. The board has issued no statement on the departure of its founder and board chair, beyond a 57-word strictly factual account published almost 2 weeks ago.pic.twitter.com/f7GY32lGs5

4. Stallman's actions over 30 years have disqualified him from any leadership position - full stop.https://twitter.com/sarahmei/status/1177647111166291968 …

4a. That includes leadership of the
@fsf, as well as leadership of any of the projects that the organization sponsors. This is consequences 101, people. It's not hard to figure out.Show this thread -
5. Although the
@fsf has not issued any statements about the ongoing Stallman scandal they're embroiled in, they _have_ been very active on their blog & social media.Show this thread -
Since Stallman 'resigned,' the
@fsf has used their public voice to promote an upcoming conference, solicit nominations for their annual award, & announce new software releases, among several other topics.Show this thread -
It's ALMOST like the
@fsf believes this scandal is just going to blow over, that Stallman can continue to de facto run the organization from his perch as leader of their main project, & those of us applying pressure will go away.Show this thread -

Does the
@fsf want to actually be effective at fighting for software freedom? This is how they do it: 1. Remove Stallman as head of the GNU project, or cut their ties to it. 2. Replace the entire board.Show this thread

True. But there is no way how this does not equally disqualify the organisation itself. (Meaning that even removing him extensively and all of his enablers would only be a small first step of redeeming the organization.)
-
Agreed. The entire board needs to be replaced, then the new board can clean house among staff and project leads.

It is my belief that
@fsf considers code more important than human beings. They have the right to be wrong. We have the right to act against them. -
That's been their mentality as far as I have read. Like to the point of feeling code itself has inalienable rights somehow. It's just flat out cultish IMHO. I've literally never understood it, no matter how much I read into their reasoning. And yes, the
@fsf just needs to die.
