@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.
@sneak @arh i think its acceptable to say since he both hasn't done a lot of work in the past decade and is also a terrible communicator, no longer being the face of the company is appropriate.
that people are losing their shit because he now has one diluted vote amongst the rest of a board is ridiculous imho.

@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.
@icedquinn @sneak @arh it’s a good excuse to hate someone. Remember that time when a drupal developer was kicked out for his love for BDSM? Yeah...
Free software has turned into politics and now everyone in that movement is a politician.

it's sort of stupid when its like
please be very manly and posessive
can do
when we said sexual liberation we meant the freedom to be an SJW harpie and hate men we didn't actually mean be a tradwife oh god
OH NO.
re: drupal, bdsm
It was exactly a woke-cancel fail though. One of the developers went to Gorean (BDSM) events as himself and didn't represent himself as a Drupal developer but he did use the same person-name at both places. After some time Drupal-actual found out about it and they said he wasn't welcome anymore because his activities violated feminism or somesth.
Goreans are one of those sex things where a large proportion of the women in the setting are slaves to men but the people engaging with the fiction are doing so voluntarily. So his activities in gorean groups were nowhere near the kind of generalized misandry they 'thought' they were signalling against.
It's cartoonized for the emoji comic but the debacle pretty much went down like that.
