re: gnu drama
also I forgot the mods were following me so I've muted and blocked them. mastodon is a safe space for me to mock gnu.
re: gnu drama
well, mock the status quo gnu. I'll stop having a laugh when some real positive change happens.
re: gnu drama
Mind to define "positive change"?
For example I would consider very positive if #GNU becomes less and less welcoming to #US corporate #hypocrisy.
Actually we should look for the #weirdest people to join, as #RMS is not #weird enough to me.

BTW, are you going to block/mute me too?
Beware: I'm not from the #US?
I dare to be #Italian!

Sorry for the #sarcasm, but I've found this https://guix.gnu.org/blog/2019/joint-statement-on-the-gnu-project/ as a political abuse against my people.
You are marginalizing #hackers because they are weird.
You joint a mob lynching #RMS for what he said, forgetting that #software is a form of human expression, so #FreeSoftware IS #FreeSpeech.
As a weirdly weird person, I respect everybody, weird and non-weird, from all over the world.
BUT as far as I can see, #US non-weird people are (being manipulated so that they are) actively working to further marginalize weirdos.
The fact is that living and working with weird people is going to be weird by definition.
People can accept this and adapt to such weirdness or refuse this and expel us.
For a few decades #FreeSoftware has been a sort of "safe place" for weird people. Even because of people like #RMS (which I consider moderately weird, actually 
).
For sure, some exploited such safety to misbehave, but these were not #hackers, but #crackers posing as such (for proper definitions of these terms look at http://www.tesio.it/documents/vademecum.txt )
And now that Free Software is fundamental to #business and has a huge economical value, giving access to actual #Power, the #OpenSource lip service isn't enough anymore and some urge to redefine free software as something that is... less weird (in US #corporate perspective, obviously, as many US people can't think about different perspectives).
I don't think this is going to improve the life for non-weird people (as most of them are basically oppressed people that internalized the oppressors' values themselves and thus heartily and unconsciously support the oppression system).
But it will increase #conformism, further marginalizing us.
