@arh@toots.alirezahayati.com it is also worth considering that rms not resigning is now presently harming the fsf and their mission regardless of anything he did or didn't do in the past.
@icedquinn @arh@toots.alirezahayati.com the issue is not his ability to vote, it is with the rest of the leadership who thinks associating with creepy toejam eaters is okay and isn't using *their* votes to immediately kick him out. that criticism is 100% valid, too. the fsf is doing a bad job of handling this crisis. rms is also not helping the situation. free software loses.
@newt @icedquinn @arh@toots.alirezahayati.com free software didn't turn into politics, lone wolves liked to pretend they didn't exist in society. now society is into software and you actually have to acknowledge being good or bad at participating in society, and sometimes lead. being a good leader (and board member) doesn't give a fuck about how good you are at writing compilers alone in a basement. it is a different skill and being good at one is orthogonal to other
@icedquinn @arh@toots.alirezahayati.com what does being on a board have to do with his technical aptitude? this is a leadership position, not a development role. he should stay in the fucking basement and make commits, he is unfit to speak to other adult humans or lead anything
@chuculate @icedquinn @arh@toots.alirezahayati.com i think rms is a perfect example as to why this statement is false, tbh. he is harming free software right now.
that people are losing their shit because he now has one diluted vote amongst the rest of a board is ridiculous imho.
