I am glad people are talking about the rms stuff over here and not just on twitter. I hope we an all have a more nuanced discussion about the future of something that is very important not just for the fediverse but for the future of our civilization. By that I mean the health of the “free culture” movement. Having someone as careless with their words as rms is seems to be counter to that. Regardless of their place in history and what they have achieved.
@liaizon Honestly I have lost hope for software freedom, because were using it not to protect everyone.
It has always struck me as strange that ideas that seem very lefty like software as an abuse of power and privacy as a human right would be used in a right wing context. Free software is being used to platform bigots and protect their privacy, these freedoms and rights are ment for everyone, but currently they are being used by a few racists to take away the right of others.
