The Stallman report
We, the anonymous editors of the Stallman report, have published our investigation of Richard Stallman and the Free Software Foundation today to a general audience:
Our report exhaustively catalogues, analyzes, and offers a rebuttal of Richard Stallman's political program of sexual violence, catalogues credible allegations of misconduct, and documents the misconduct of the #FSF circa 2019 and 2021. Please read and share our work.
Boosts encouraged.

@report_press@mastodon.social It's been nearly 4 years since the open letter failed to achieve anything.
Get over it, bruh.

@report_press@mastodon.social Can I also just say that personally attacking people through an anonymous report is also a very lame thing to do?

@GabeMoralesVR@mastodon.gamedev.place @report_press@mastodon.social Nobody is gonna fuck you for being against him either. What kind of argument is that?

@sicp I don't know, RMS is what I would
call a true consequent person, putting the truth over trends, even
if ihe hurt himself on the process by using an inappropiate speech
but without any will on hurthing nobody, as he is obviously
socially challenged, bordering the Asperger syndrome.
Maybe Alexandre Oliva.

Same spirit, same fearmongering. Follow the money, look up on who profits on this.
In the 80's, TV's against books and tabletop RPGs; today, corporations
and surveillance software and sites.
It happened in the US and later in some parts in Europe. Sorry, but I spotted the bullshit
decades away.

@anthk @cygnathreadbare @report_press the report addresses this (stupid) take:
Drew DeVault
@anthk @cygnathreadbare @report_press and I'll add my own take which is that (1) RMS is not invoking "romeo and juliet" laws, he has defended 80+ year old men having sex with teenagers (2) your stupid take makes this community worse for everyone but especially women so put a sock in it

@cygnathreadbare @report_press
In my country the legal age of consent used to be 13 a few
years ago, until 2015 if I can recall it well.
Are you telling me that a good chunk of Spaniards were
pedophiles? Or maybe the age relationship worked between
normal gaps and people over 17-18 with 13yo where just
an anechdotical exception, too small to even show in a chart?
RMS' intent was not to support pedophilia, but an intelligent
law system for consent.

@anthk @report_press when he "apologized" he said he now understands why adults having sex with children is harmful. But his own literal definition of children...
"Children: Humans up to age 12 or 13 are children. After that, they become adolescents or teenagers. Let’s resist the practice of infantilizing teenagers, by not calling them “children”."
So his apologies don't really hold much water if he is actually just saying "okay maybe under 13 it's wrong".
Anthk
@report_press Sorry I don't support FUD.
On the first point, he acknowledged in further comments
that he was utterly wrong and apologized.
So, please, stop spreading libel. As a warning.

Please note that the FSF Europe #FSFE @fsfe has taken a clear stand here, immediately after it had learned that #Stallman became part of the #FSF board of directors again:
»That is why, as a legally and financially independent organisation, in which Richard Stallman has not had any decision-making powers, we call for his resignation from all FSF bodies. The FSF needs to seriously reflect on this decision as well as their decision-making process to prevent similar issues from happening again.«

If you want to discuss our report on Hacker News, you will have to help us overcome the systemic reactionary bias on HN. Enable showdead in your profile, find the post on /newest, and click [vouch] whenever it's flagged. Don't necessarily upvote it -- just "vouch" for it if you think it's on-topic.
Otherwise please continue to share as widely as possible and help foster an important discussion on this person and the FSF's role in our community.
The Stallman report
@luis_in_brief it was released when it was done. Certain members of the press were given advance notice so they could read it, verify sources, etc, if they wanted to cover it, and there was a period of hardening and pentesting to ensure that the anonymity of the editors was assured and it would be resilient to DDoS etc.
Luis Villa
@report_press sad that this is needed, but thank you for your service.
Is there any significance to the timing of the release, or just “when it was done it was done”?

@log I have read and heard accounts by women on fedi, on blogs, on podcasts, who pretty much said they ended up in Open Source instead of Free Software because Free Software just had this glaring spot of misogyny at the center. The Free Software movement as a whole would benefit from the FSF cleaning up its act.
As for the FSF, the FSF would be able to collaborate with OSI, FSFE, SFC etc as peers instead of being isolated.

@report_press If I understand this correctly, the goal of this report is to remove entirely the influence of RMS upon FSF, present and future, and for it to repudiate selected past influences. And to apply pressure, it is encouraging a boycott against the FSF until those demands are met.
That is the stick. What is the carrot? If RMS steps down of his own accord, and retracts all those prior public statements, what benefit could the liberated software movement (not just FSF) expect?

@report_press Well, if nothing else responses to this post are giving me a decent list of people to block.
SuperDicq
@parker@cawfee.club @report_press@mastodon.social Ok I want to be very clear before we start doing shit like this.
This post right here is why writing anonymous reports to "cancel" people is a really dumb idea.
Now people will start guessing who may have been part of the writing of the report, which can result in a lot of bullshit going towards people we might have had nothing to do with the report.
Parker Banks
@SuperDicq @report_press Not that anonymous. We all know it’s Drew.

@meso@netzsphaere.xyz @report_press@mastodon.social Once again I'm going to say that this is why writing an anonymous report is a dumb idea.
Now we're just guessing who was part of it, which is a really dangerous game.

@report_press
you are filled with envy that you'll never achieve anything even remotely worthy of appraisal so you have to destroy the life, reputation and work of others. deep down the thing you hate most is yourself.

@sun@shitposter.world @meso@netzsphaere.xyz @report_press@mastodon.social mastodon.social is also super unmoderated (which makes sense because they are approaching big social media user numbers)
SuperDicq
@sun@shitposter.world @meso@netzsphaere.xyz @report_press@mastodon.social Seriously 90% of the spam on my instance comes from here.
