Daniel Andrlik - The Stallman Report is damning

https://www.andrlik.org/dispatches/stallman-report-is-damning/

Our report is a collaboration between many people: editors, researchers, and sources, many of whom have been victimized by sexual violence, harassment, and intimidation. We will not be silenced, and we will not be re-victimized by a violent response to speaking the truth -- truth backed up not by our names and reputations, but by 302 primary sources, the public testimonies of a dozen witnesses, and an extensive list of citations. [3/3]

Under Stallman's leadership it is this sort of person who our community welcomes into our spaces. This is why our communities are unsafe. We push away women, children, victims of violence, and we create a safe space for violence, harassment, and intimidation to thrive.

Stallman must go. [2/3]

Many people have asked or speculated on why our report was published anonymously.

Richard Stallman's political program speaks out in defense of sexual violence, harassment, and even coercion. Many of those to whom his message appeals are willing to employ harassment, intimidation, and threats of violence to retaliate against those who speak out against him.

@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.

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.
