This implication is simply bullshit.

I don't agree with #RMS on almost anything (not even the definition of free software which I consider too mild with corporations abuse).

But what happened at @fsf is disgusting.

Software is a form of expression.

Now we have the paradox of #FSF forcing #Stallman to resign for what he said. Not for anything he did, any crime he committed. Not as an effect of a due process.

Just for what he said.

The international crowd of cowards that lynched him over the #Web should lobby to get UN to institute an universal law on #ThoughtCrime so that #hackers will know which opinions cannot be expressed and will have the right to defend themselves in a court.

That's the final step to turn #hypocrisy into an actual evolutive advantage. I mean: at least people like #Epstein don't say what they DO!

Meanwhile what happened to Stallman shows that nobody really care about Universal Human Rights. Nobody ever read nor understood them. I think you should really read them twice. In particular articles 18, 19 and 12.

If you attack a man instead of his arguments, you might defeat the man but not the arguments.

@lohang #RMS himself agreed it was necessary to resign. The media coverage framed him as defendant of the atrocity, and by correlation, others were insinuating that the movement itself was like #Stallman. According to him in the libreplanet-discuss mailing list, @fsf approached him suggesting him to resign, and he agreed. Also, he told that in order to support the movement, people need to continue support and renew their #FSF membership.

I just read the controversial email from Richard Stallman, and it is almost sadly prophetic. He writes a mail that people need to be specific in their accusations, and the backlash is that he gets accused of one of the worst crimes possible. I encourage everyone to read the email in its entirety. Don't get me wrong, I think he has serious mental issues, and needs help, but I think that the attacks on him where inaccurate. Now I'm just waiting to see what I will be accused of. @fsf #fsf

So I was looking for a WiFi dongle in a shop I won't disclose. The salesmans ask me if they could help me with something. I saiy I don't think they can be of any help. They laugh until I ask them if those dongle where working with only Free Softwares... That was what I thought! #freeasfreedom #fsf #rms @fsf

@Tutanota @mozilla @openstreetmap @fdroidorg @purism @Mastodon you got it almost right. Brave isn't a browser to recommend and is based on Chromium engine, Tor with a VPN in SAME TIME please, hardware 2FA is more secure, and finally "There's no cloud, only others people computers". #FSF #FreeAsFreedom @torproject @fsf

@switchingsocial

Well that sucks i've sold my testing pixel 2 xl. Its suported, though.

A good start but we want full Freedom from Android so a true Linux phone. #FSF #freeasfreedom #rms

My (future) money will go to : @PINE64 @purism

And a montly donation to @fsf and @torproject.

@fsfe why not use your own GNU social instance or share it with @fsf instead of using Mastodon? #FSF #GNUsocial

I added a "general considerations" secitons to my anti #GAFAM guide.

@aral just two days ago I was surprised by the numbers of the #FSF accounts:

FSF @ Twitter: 30.100
FSF @ Mastodon: 820

Less then 3% ? And I asked myself why do all these #FreeSoftware friends seem to prefer #Twitter over #Mastodon?

Now I realised that FSF @ status has at least 4984 followers. Makes around 16.5% of their Twitter Followers. However, still not convincing and imho a story for reflection.
