Removed Comment Free Software and it's communities should stay focused on Free Software topics only. It's better not to mix software. RMS critiques should not be brought through the FS communities because then we lose the meaning of those communities. Critiques are okay, bring them in political communities. Don't mix concepts. I know it's hard to accept but someone political views does not affect their views on Free Software. Cancelling people in one topic does not implies that he is wrong in every other topic he is active. It's stupid to think that choosing dubious ideas in one topic suddenly makes this individual not eligible for any other topic. That is a cross topic cancelation that does not have any sense. This cross topic cancelation is wrong. For example I may not agree with Lemmy devs about their political views, but yet I appreciate them for their Lemmy development, etc. I may critique them on political communities, but that doesn't mean that they should be canceled from developing Lemmy or any free software project. For example Heisenberg and other scientific people were aligned with the Nazis in WWII. That doesn't mean that their scientific development and image has to be canceled because of their political views. Yes it's hard to accept, but it's what is reasonable. Topics are separated naturally. If you knew Heisenberg only for his scientific development then you would think he is a great scientific. If you later knew what he did politically that wouldn't change the fact that he is a great scientific. Do not try to mix topics that are not related. by mariusafa@lemmy.sdf.org

Removed Comment > when he threatened suicide if Betsy did not agree to date him I skipped to the section on allegations of misconduct and stopped reading here. They just quoted Stallman saying he didn't threaten suicide and then the (nameless, cowardly) authors immediately say "he theratened suicide". Despicable. There is nobody to back up Betsy's side. There's no response from Betsy to Stallman's recent comments in the incident. And yet this is the first "corroborated" example they come out with. This site is another insidious hit piece. I pity the authors that they're so twisted and power-hungry in their relentless attacking of a man who has clearly suffered for having a different mind to most and yet also contributed so much. Much more, I would guess, than these snakes will ever contribute. by rah@feddit.uk

Removed Comment Because in recent years they have been weaponizing gender politics to try to "cancel" good projects for no reason. "Silence is violence", forced CoC adoption, over-zealous use of the word "transphobe", ridiculous terminology changes (master/slave etc.), attempts to ban "wrongthink", you name it. And if you don't comply, they come after you in every way possible, often with a few dedicated individuals dedicating all of their free time to investigating every possible company the project touches and then attacking them too, as well as doxxing everyone in their path. Like when recently tier-1 ISPs took it upon themselves to blackhole some websites from the whole planet? That was them too. EFF even wrote multiple articles about it. by refalo@programming.dev

Removed Comment I misread your username as masterrace and it made me uncomfortable. I do not need to know anything about your intent to label you as a fascist supremacist because it is easy to not make these mistakes in English. So, I can say for sure that you purposely meant to use hate speech. I would fire anybody instantly that displayed disgusting and immoral behaviour like you. We should get a community together and cancel you IRL. This comment is totally normal and reasonable. /s by LeFantome@programming.dev

Removed Comment Masterclass comment. Part 1 - criticize my reading comprehension and then immediately demonstrate a lack of reading comprehension by asking me to defend a point I did not make. At what point did I suggest that using “he” was required? As you say, “well wait”. Part 2 - demonstrate a lack of self awareness by attacking my attempt to raise your self-awareness. I even used the sarcasm tag and you still didn’t get it. I doubt further dialogue will help so I will not try again. Minor Part 3 - “defensive”? I do not remember having to defend myself ( before this comment I guess you could argue ). As a bystander, I was calling you out for your behaviour. If you understand that as “defensive”, we are back to reading compression. Do you ever consider context or definitions when choosing your insults? Or do you just decide that people are members of some class of enemies and then respond as if you are talking to them generically? Real question. No public answer required — it is just for you. This is my last comment. Any attempt at education will have been totally lost by going further. Stay gold. by LeFantome@programming.dev

Removed Comment > reactionary incels, transphobes, and racists All that because they declined a silly PR that replaced 'he' with 'they' 🤡 What are you doing on Lemmy by the way? Do you know what the developers think about your political views? Or is that not trendy to discuss this week? Instead of fighting useless online battles, go and help someone if you are that highly morale. But of course you won't, that would require some effort. by cheddar@programming.dev

Removed Comment > A. Not a “dude” I so don't care, my dude. Why bother responding at all when you completely ignored my very simple point. > If you see two pieces of identical software, one with 1000 downloads and one with 100,000, which would you choose? They are identical pieces of open source software. By definition, it does not matter which one I choose, they will both perform identically. But if I do happen to choose the one with people you don't like, it still doesn't "support" them in any meaningful way, and certainly does not "support" the specific things about them that you object to. Your rhetoric is mere sophistry intended to muddy the waters. Open source software isn't owned by anyone. It doesn't somehow bring bounty to its creators, it improves the lives of *everyone* without prejudice. It expands all human culture and potential. Even people you don't like. Tough. Deal with it. Don't like it? Fork the project, purge all the names that upset you, and release it under a new name. Yay! Now everyone is supporting YOU!! by Jerkface (any/all)@lemmy.ca
