There are a few weird guys in there that I wasn't already aware of. I knew that Louis Rossmann was kind of an asshole, but being openly active on kiwifarms is actually fucked up.

it sure wasn't, considering that rms' highly problematic antics are well known for literal decades, and ddv only amplified them.

if not for the fact the bylaws of fsf basically give stallman control over the foundation no matter who's voted into the board, he'd be ousted many times.

Never realized Stallman did a Zuckerberg before Zuckerberg did, that's worth knowing and definitely not a point in his favor
