We, the anonymous editors of the Stallman report, have published our investigation of Richard Stallman and the Free Software Foundation today to a general audience: https://stallman-report.org Our report exhaustively catalogues, analyzes, and offers a rebuttal of Richard Stallman's political program of sexual violence, catalogues credible allegations of misconduct, and documents the misconduct of the #FSF circa 2019 and 2021. Please read and share our work. Boosts encouraged. #freesoftware

    I'll refrain from making any solid claims; There are clearly some actual examples of concerning behaviour and trash opinions from the guy, but in honesty, this report reads to me a hit piece rather than investigative journalism. It makes some seemingly objectively false claims, and some other claims I'd be interesting in hearing more on.

    Stallman has done a lot of good work, and it sounds like he really should shut his yap about non FSF-business more than anything (which the paper does call for).

        I kept vague because I'm not really eager to get into any arguments over specific details. I obviously could be wrong.

        I'm not saying he deserves "a pass" (whatever that entails), I'm not defending his character. I just don't really think his dumb opinions are relevant to his professional work.

            Then don't post about it, yourself?? It was very deliberately a conversation-terminator, I'm not interested in a conversation about it.

            I agree with not being fully comfortable about that kind of distinction. I don't think we should let people be as shitbags, but I also don't understand why a person in a prominent position needs to not have bad opinions on irrelevant topics.
