Many people here talk about "cancel culture" which is in fact a fake culture that is completely artificially generated via paid actors, like some on this list of signatures. Most of the people taking part in the character assasination plot against Stallman running right now work in fact for Saleaforce, IBM or some other FAANG type of organization. You can look it up by yourself.
Stallman is a very eccentric person which makes him the perfect target for a devide and conquer operation in order to take ownership of the (hobbyist) FOSS movement.
Also ycombinator seems to have an agenda in this too, offing every post about Stallman from the frontpage. Never trust anything you get for free (like this site) except it came from Stallman, I guess.

And those people are interested in bringing the same to the FS world. (Whether or not it was necessary to push Stallman out for that, I'm not sure.)
- xnwdq 7y agoThe pigs in Animal Farm also did a splendid job on inclusiveness. Amazing how brainwashed people here are by their FAANG salaries.
- sprash 7y agoThe FOSS community is about hobbyist recreational programming for FUN. If you want to kill the FUN you introduce COCs, you guilt trip people of a certain gender and race (white male) for simply existing and you create artificial drama via divide and conquer like the current Stallman campagn. Congratulations, mission accomplished, the fun has been eradicated. Inviting the corporate world into FOSS was a grave mistake. The FOSS community should generally exclude everybody who is not fun. Inclusiveness has proven itself to be counterproductive.

No, it was never exclusively about that, and it's become less dominantly about that over time. > Inviting the corporate world into FOSS was a grave mistake. The nature of “free” and “open source” is you don't get to choose who to invite.
- xnaksd 7y agoFound the vicious bureaucrat.
- t0astbread 7y agoI can see why you'd think these sort of modernization measures are about guilt tripping white men but that's (hopefully) not what people actually want. The only ones that should really feel guilty are those that categorically and intentionally exclude or mistreat others.
