@louis@emacs.ch @jameshowell kirschner is supreme leader of the FSFE for as long as i know the FSFE _and_ has his own history of unsavory accusations. just an example: https://write.as/malinagalina/i-took-fsfe-to-court , there are more.

which didn't keep him from trying to backstab RMS.

the FSF might have some issues but they really pale in comparison. FSFE is essentially usurpation of the FSFs good name without having actually done anything of relevance.

the monetary report of 2022 (https://fsfe.org/about/funds/2022.en.html) shows that not only they rake in much money from their members.

they also get ~175000€ from the EU for "Next Generation Internet Zero" (which in essence is my money as it's tax money). actually spend for "Next Generation Internet Zero" was: 1,715.84€.

BUT about 145000€ go to "Basic infrastructure costs", which "Includes personnel and office costs for management and administration, technical infrastructure, fees from tax consultant and lawyer, and bank fees."

some people pay themselves quite a fine salary at FSFE.
