TLDR: Drew DeVault may be viewing Loli images.

...Im kinda over drama "content" about persons in open source. I just want ~~to grill~~ to find cool libre software!

[-] ngn@lemmy.ml 5 points 3 months ago

your tldr is kinda underselling it ngl

i also don't like drama - but i think this is important because this report shows that drew clearly did not care about the unethical takes of stallman when he created the stallman report, the report was an attack on the FSF and the free software community in general and people were unable to recognize this when the report was first published

the report was an attack on the FSF and the free software

Stallman is not the FSF. The FSF is not the free software community. The free software community is not free software.

I'm so tired to people presenting these things as if they are equivalent.

nobody said stallman is fsf

the report also targets the fsf:

To all members of the present-day Voting Members and Board of Directors who were contemporaneous with the 2019 scandal and the associated patterns of misconduct, we urge you to step down from your posts and allow new leaders to fill your roles. Namely:

  • Alexandre Oliva
  • Geoffrey Knauth
  • Gerald Sussman
  • Henry Poole

In particular we call upon Mr. Knauth to uphold his 2021 pledge to resign “as soon as there is a clear path for new leadership assuring continuity of the FSF’s mission and compliance with fiduciary requirements”.

!1061!< Leaked picture of DeVault publishing the Stallman report

Ironically, the writing felt weaker than Drew's, which led to unexpected feelings while reading. For example:

r/preteen_girls (why this was even allowed to exist is beyond our comprehension)

Emphasis mine. My immediate reaction was this shouldn't be beyond comprehension to anyone who looks into Reddit's history and culture. Silly, not even a nitpick proper—though I have one—but it got a snort from me.

Anyway, assuming provided information is correct, seems he:

  1. Likes sexual anime-like depictions of minors
  2. Is sloppy at compartmentalizing his internet activity (or didn't care to; why?)

I, uh, also wonder if one can get in trouble for hosting screenshots of certain content for a report. Guess it also depends on where they're hosting from. I hope they're fine, because from this report and the rest of their blog, they seem to enjoy internet slapfights.

How was that allowed to exist? Probably someone higher up at reddit liked it

Weird that hacker news allowed the stallman report that Drew apparently sock puppeted, but took down this piece on drew

Man I dunno. I despise ad hominem attacks whether it is from Drew or from someone else.

[-] prma@programming.dev 1 points 3 months ago

This is pathetic. The whole point of this report is undermining Drew's attack on Stallman, who for years published pieces supporting sex with underage teens and having defending predators, by saying that it is a double standard, because there is a user with a similar username that has viewed anime sexual contents that looks underage? For sure you are right. He is a monster, unlike saint Stallman. Jesus. Even the name of the website is reactionary. What the hell were you thinking?

[-] ngn@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 months ago

on one hand you got stallman telling his opions about different laws regarding sensetive topics and on the other hand you have drew viewing child porn (yes i consider loli child porn) - stallman is actually a saint

the entire point is to show that the stallman report is not targeting stallman's opions/views or stallman himself (drew clearly doesn't care about stallmans opions about underage sex etc. hes literally viewing child porn) its targeting the fsf and the free software community, using stallmans opinions as a pretence
