yes, "free/libre" software usually attracts nazis, especially gpl licenses. that's why lemmy should start using an ethical open source license and get serious about getting rid of right-wingers
Not really. GPL is a left wing license. It literally enforces cooperation, and collaboration, which're communal values, rather than individualism.
the gpl was created by richard stallman, a well known nazi, because of that it tends to attract like-minded people
Stallman is a Nazi? U WOT M8
A toe jam eating pedo, yes. A nazi I dont think so.
Pedo accusation is too far. He did nothing like the adults that groom kids on Discord, and what he discussed was Romeo Juliet laws. One cannot call him a pedo for that.
Toe jam eater, yes. What I do not like him for is his ignorant views on the Xinjiang situation.
Okay I know people think it's below the belt very frequently, and I understand the desire to give people reasonable doubt. No one wants these allegations levied on them. So we expect a lot of evidence before such an accusation. I have listened to recordings of Richard talking about pedophilia I will not be able to produce for you here. However if you go to stallman.org go to the search bar and type in pedophilia go and read his writings. Go and read the redacted reports from the MIT public mailing list.
Mind you I'm not saying he abused children but he certainly has tried in the past to normalize sexual advances to minors.
This was a bit out of pocket though I was trying to be edgy. Another thing I would like to say is that pedophiles are not morally bankrupt by virtue of being pedophiles. They are morally at fault when they normalize touching children, they are morally at fault when they assault children.
Sorry this got a lot darker than it had to.
Yeah that is fair. Someday I will dig deeper and read a lot about it, as I have only ever skimmed through a fair share before. I have not been highly interested in him and his history, honestly, and just care about the Free Libre movements for software. I care more about the ideals here.
