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 -

I’m very interested in hearing a response from
@conservancy and@o0karen0o given the organizations close association with the fsf. Bradley M. Kuhn is on the fsf board and President of@conservancy . We give them $$$$ which is going to end now.3 replies 0 retweets 16 likes -
The statements relayed in the medium post are reprehensible. There is indeed no formal relationship between FSF and Conservancy as others have said but for my part, I'm removing my only remaining formal personal connection right now - my FSF membership. We'll be following this.

It makes me sick to think about all of the amazing women who've left this movement. We're working so hard to forward software freedom and to make a welcoming place.

Can we reimagine free software ideals to serve people that have been excluded? How can we center the interests of marginalized people in
#FOSS#freeknowledge#openscience? Is it useful to think of all three together? I've asked RMS directly with all success you would expect.

We stop asking RMS and start defining this movement in terms of social justice. I've been thinking about this a lot the last few days. I'm happy to discuss more.

RMS does not understand the free software movement.
Applying the four freedoms to a piece of software eliminates one form of exploitation. Justice demands we end exploitation, in all its forms, everywhere.
Substituting one form of exploitation with another is unjust.
