> The thing that frustrates me about this is that the #FreeSoftware community wastes so much fucking time on #Stallman. [...] this man is unfit to lead the social movement for our digital liberation.
without stallman there wouldn't be the "social movement for our digital liberation". almost everyone else would lack the wit to dream up free software. even less if it was the 1980s. some gratefulness for this achievement certainly is in order.
> We are freed together as a community, not as individuals.
freedom is by definition individualist, free software is individualist. free software is voluntary contracts between individuals.
it's the polar opposite of any collectivist idea. it _especially_ has nothing in common with ridiculous ideas of abolishing property rights. ideas history has proven countless times to kill millions and not even work in the first place.
> The system of collaboration and the sharing of our digital infrastructure makes this thing liberating for all of us, not my ability to patch better Esperanto support into glibc.
the first is a direct consequence of the latter. the ability to study and modify software is precondition to collaboration and sharing in the realm of software.
> There are so many people (men…) who make this community less lovely than it is.
looks like judging people based on external characteristics is back on the menu!
> But instead of lifting up other voices, or addressing other toxicity, we're stuck endlessly dealing with this one eccentric man.
yet you comment on matters regarding RMS instead of doing these other things.
