although the title of this post is "haha, only serious" i dont think you can necessarily determine who hates freedom the most from a single "metric". we have the information we have, we certainly have lots of information that exists outside of this letter as well, but the stallman backstabbing letter is certainly a good opportunity to get a quick-and-dirty measure of who despises user freedom and free speech.
the letter is based on lies, and probably the quickest way to gain an appreciation how much the stallman cancellers are lying to you (or how much theyre getting suckered and dont want to fix their terrible mistake) is to go to the stallman support website:
=> https://stallmansupport.org/
^ THESE people at least, care about truth and free speech.
who are the shills, the nazis and the crybully fascists we can never trust or count on again? alright, maybe you dont despise them the way i do. but ive been watching these traitors stab our movement (and us) in the back for years. i personally want to get as far away from these people and their corporate fascist garbage as possible:

"An open letter to remove Richard M. Stallman from all leadership positions"
lovely. how could you put your name to this rubbish, david? i thought you were decent.
obviously at the top there are horrors of humanity like the gnome foundation, former fsf traitors, someone from the debian technical committee (no surprise there, the debian technical committee are traitors to the entire human race) linked to osi! stay classy open source, more osi, the software fuckery con, more gnome foundation, more debian, more osi and fsf backstabbers, and one former "pirate" who is such an awful piece of nazi german eurotrash im withdrawing all my support and starting a NINJA party instead!
eric schultz is particularly notable-- why? the entire anti-stallman coup STARTED at NON-FREEPLANET in 2018, and schultz was one of the ringleaders. he was also connected (organisationally) to other original coup-starters from all the back to the libreplanet incident.
these people are pathological liars and libreplanet is anti-freedom. libreplanet is even more anti-fsf than i am. STOP FUNDING THIS SHIT. it is to the fsf what the linux foundation is to the kernel. what the actual fuck, people?
more gnome foundation osi stuff-- WAIT, we are still at the TOP OF THE PAGE! we havent even gotten to the actual petition yet, just the people who started it! MORE DEBIBM AND OSI.
lets be clear about this, we are talking about:
* debian AND gnome at once. (same person)
* debian AND osi at once.
* gnome AND debian at once (yes, thats TWICE now)
* gnome AND osi at once.
* debian AND osi again!
of course SO FAR we are talking about the GNOME FOUNDATION. thats important, because roy spun this bullshit narrative that it was just the foundation-- not gnome itself. we will get to that.
oh, and apache. but what do apache and osi have in common? per what muckrights says, thats two instances of microsoft.
when someone says "apache", they might as well be saying "microsoft". did microsoft leave? did the microsoft "fauxpen source" culture leave with them?
when someone says "osi", they might as well be saying "microsoft".
when someone says "linux foundation"... dont just BELIEVE ME, go look this stuff up!
organisations... hmm.
"commitchange"-- well thats no surprise. commitchange was the organisation i was just talking about, with eric shultz and that other one who signed the ORIGINAL anti-stallman petition, kicking off the coup in late 2018:
https://wwahammy.com/on-safety-at-libreplanet/
thats a load of balls, that is. ^
"creative commons"-- well, they sold out ages ago. im sad that mike linksvayer has turned traitor, but the last good idea creative commons had was his, and they fucked it up. i LOVE lawrence lessig, hes one of the greatest men that ever lived. but creative commons is a worthless pile of shit-- yes, i still use a couple of their licenses. im a big fan of cc0. of all the sheer fucking hyprocrisy, your founder literally (and proudly-- and honestly and straightforwardly) said he stole stallmans ideas to create your organisation. fuck creative commons.
"exherbo linux"-- well, one more reason to ditch penguinshit.
"framasoft"-- theyre probably a scam anyway.
"freedom of the press foundation"-- co-founded by the late john perry barlow. guessing the sold-out eff (also co-founded by barlow) put them up to this. barlow and stallman were both inducted into the internet hall of fame.
"gnome foundation"-- basically microsoft...
"gnu mailman", "gnu radio"-- gnu radio should have been kicked out of gnu anyway, theyre part of the april coup that muckrights didnt bother telling people about because i got the story first, and roy is a lying shit.
"midnightbsd"-- which i was already avoiding, because shithub.
"mozilla"-- not a real browser anymore, complete bullshit that spies on users. includes/included microsoft people on its board, roy sez.
"ethical source"-- rofl, the single most ridiculous organisation even TANGENTIAL to open source, because its not even "free" enough to be called "open"! "ethical source" is a fucking farce.
"riseup"-- fake left shitfucks. i used to be a member of riseup, ages ago, when they seemed legit. (im not sure they havent simply fallen from what they once where. the fsf certainly has).
"outreachy"-- gnome scamming feminists for money.
"x.org"-- what do they even do? the last time these people put out anything, scientists still believed in "luminiferous aether". i use xenocara. fuck wayland, fuck these people too. still disappointing.
"freedos"-- NOT EVEN FREE SOFTWARE! nope, sorry! fuck freedos. i was a fan once, i tried it when it was in alpha.
hardenedbsd-- shithub. WILL NOT FUND! roy sez tor took bribes from ddg (which is basically microsoft at this point). fuck them too.
so lets clear the org section from the list, keep the traitorous fuckers at the top, and get on with this.
but just so you know, they have a fucking disclaimer that says: "For individual signatures, institutional affiliation is provided for identification purposes only and does not constitute endorsement."
DO NOT GIVE A FUCK! this still demonstrates how full of traitors these organisations are. its not as if we cannot find other organisational-level problems from these groups that fuck users and shill for corporations.
it may not be your fault that theres a coup, but if your org is taken over i hardly want to give you money to fuck us with, yeah?
also the MAIN REASON im doing this is that roy pretended it was mostly the gnome foundation. roy is utterly full of shit though.
the first thing we do is search for lines with "(" or ")":
now we have 1288 lines-- about a 1/3 of the people on the list, maybe slightly more, have a parenthesis after their name)
we could have done this first, but now we change the "(" to "\n(" instead.
now we have 1303 lines. an extra 15? thats fun. some people put more than one set of parentheses on their line. we could worry about those, but they shouldnt affect our results. heres an example of what happened there:
(DasGeek)
(Host of Destination Linux, Partner of Destination Linux, LLC.)
that used to be on a single line. "sorry" ryan, i dont know wtf "destination linux" is, but i sure dont fucking care now.
the next thing we do is filter out parentheses entirely. we probably could have done this before, but so far ive been doing this in an editor and like to look at the results each step of the way. how else would i know that some people had two sets of parentheses on one line? not that its necessarily that relevant.
now we deal with commas. lets deal with properly formatted ones first-- ones that have a space after.
we change all isntances of ", " to "\n"...
unfortunately we just removed our ability to notice things like this:
Thorsten Behrens (director, The Document Foundation)
oh, youre the director? well, fuck the document foundation. i stopped used libreoffice and openoffice when i switched to bsd because it wasnt a priority, and i open odf documemnts by unzipping them. youre going to be taken over by gnome and collabora scumbags anyway im sure, so much for open documents i guess.
the chief gnewsance uses latex, so he wont care.
lets take a moment i guess to single out directors from this fucking list, yeah?
Former member of the FSF board of directors
Open Source Initiative Director
Open Source Initiative Director
GNOME Foundation Executive Director (we all know who that is-- fuck you, neil, youve been part of this coup since... https://wwahammy.com/on-safety-at-libreplanet/ OH! since 2018 as well!)
Former Apache Software Foundation Director)
Former Director of the Open Source Initiative and the GNOME Foundation
Former Director of the Open Source Initiative
former member, X.Org Foundation Board of Directors
Executive Director, Progressive Technology Project
GNOME Foundation Board of Directors
former Noisebridge director
Former director, GNOME Foundation
Former director / president, GNOME Foundation
former the Document Foundation director
Former GNOME Foundation Director
Director, R&D, Virtual Adept Networks
Former GNOME Foundation director
Python Software Foundation Director
Board of Directors, the Document Foundation
Founder/Executive Director, Root Access Hackerspace
former member of the SPI Inc board of directors
Project Jupyter co-founder and co-director
Director of Developer Relations at MeiliSearch
Battle For Wesnoth Project developer and Board of Directors
OSI Director
Aspiration Board of Directors
PIMS Director
former GNOME Foundation director
Fellow and Director, Python Software Foundation; former Director, Django Software Foundation
UBports Foundation Board of Directors
Python Software Foundation Director/Fellow
former GNOME Foundation director
PyCon AU 2020 conference director
UBports Foundation founder, Lead Developer and Board of Directors, Ubuntu Member (this one is vague-- lead developer and board of directors for ubports foundation or ubuntu? probably ubports)
former Director, Software Freedom Conservancy
former director & past chair, Python Software Foundation
Director, Metropolitan New York Library Council (this one doesnt surprise me, a lot of libraries are introducing drm in ebooks and stallman is probably critical of them-- librarians that support drm are turning their backs on their mission and the public good!)
Director of DNS Engineering @ ISC
CTO and Creative Director, Quin
Open Source Initiative Director
Former Director of the Open Source Initiative
Director at Ruby Central
GNOME Foundation director (just how many directors does the gnome foundation have?)
co-director of Framasoft (thanks, arsehole!)
GlobaLeaks Outreach Director
director, The Document Foundation
Open Source Initiative Director (how many directors does osi have?)
founder and acting director of Kludge Cyber Systems (great name for a shit company)
Directory Server (that shouldnt be listed here)
former Board Director of PSF
lets tally these directors up shall we? we can do this manually:
NINE gnome foundation directors and former directors, PLUS one from the GNOME Foundation Board
incidentally if youre a box of tissue and would like to apply for a brief position at the gnome foundation, i think neil is getting tired of being a shill for giafam. seriously, how much more damage can he do to free software? the corporate mothership is sure to call him home soon, anybody wanna help gnome fight against our freedom? asking for a friend!
EIGHT osi directors!
only FOUR python software foundation (so, basically microsoft) directors, plus the board director. dont worry, with all the moves to shithub your micromasters are sure to show appreciation.
TWO document foundation (gnome basically) directors, plus one board member
only one from apache (aka microsoft? or former microsoft?) well, its not like you people actually do anything anymore.
r&d is just a department, lets count the fsf board, xorg foundation board, spi inc board, battle for wesnoth board, ubports foundation board (maybe twice, maybe its the same guy) "CO-director" at Project Jupyter-- guess they were inspired by the fsfs two vice presidents... "development relations" at "meilisearch" (did i spell it right?) and i guess stallman made an enemy of some sort at isc engineering, thats too bad. "creative director" and cto of "quin" as well.
and then we have the directors and/or former directors of:
Progressive Technology Project, Noisebridge, Root Access Hackerspace, PIMS, Django Software Foundation, PyCon AU 2020 conference, Software Freedom Conservancy, Metropolitan New York Library Council, Ruby Central, GlobaLeaks Outreach, Kludge Cyber Systems...
now what about the rest of this thing?
PLEASE NOTE, we are not removing the above directors from the list, we are counting them also in the following tally.
the next thing we want to do is remove as many "@" as possible, so we first look at the whole list of lines with @ on them...
apart from the isc person, the only "@" lines of interest are:
Founder of @MadeByThePinsHub
Sr. Architect and WIT ADVOCATE @SUSE
Lead Engineer at @Allstate
@edu4rdshl - BlackArch Linux and Nspawn.org developer
@_stultus | Swathanthra Malayalam Computing
Founder @TrainingCloudHQ
Enterprise Cloud Products @ SUSE
so we remove all the lines with @ now (we already changed commas to newlines, so the important stuff doesnt have "@" in it...)
doing a search for ";" we see we can treat it the same way, changing all "; " to "\n"...
now lets save this text and pipe it to tr A-Z a-z, in fact lets pipe that through sort as well.
now lets start looking for names we recognise...
"associate" okay, lets grep for that:
30 associate members, half of which said "former". fwiw, i am also a former fsf member. though a pro-stallman one.
"mozilla" lets search:
35 fuckers from mozilla. thanks, arseholes!
some are combined with things like llvm or outreachy, so lets just remove the ones that only say mozilla and keep searching.
lets do outreachy next!
only THREE? bullshit detector ping! lets check the website again...
okay, only three. but that includes outreachy signing as the org itself, so:
3 outreachy (including the org signing as itself)
lets do llvm now:
3 llvm
fedora? this should be a naughty one...
47 fedora! people at practically every level.
i really never liked fedora, in all the years i used gnu/linux. the exception was sugar-on-a-stick, of course.
alright, lets do "gnome foundation", its time!
27!
lets go "gnome" INCLUDING "gnome foundation" now:
72! wow!
wait: 72 - 27 = 45, so:
72 gnome, (27 gnome foundation, 45 NOT gnome foundation)

obviously, microsoft hates your freedom more than debian. but whether gnome hates your freedom more than debian is difficult to guess!
again, this is just one metric. but roy is so ridiculously loyal to debian, it should be amusing to see the way he spins this.
