Furthermore, while that same IP address (46.23.81.157) no longer hosts the stallman-report.org website, responding with "404 Site not found" if requested, it still has a certificate for stallman-report.org, which can be observed if a matching SNI record is sent during the TLS handshake: https://i.ibb.co/S0fPvW3/ddv-sr-cert.png
Thank you. Sometimes I find myself in awe of the ability of random internet threads to dig out the background material needed to make sense of a a flame war. This connection to Drew, combined with this comment from him here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41838124 and this link also posted here (the commented is downvoted to [dead]): https://kiwifarms.net/threads/drew-chadwick-devault-ddevault... puts some much…
Your second link is worth reading again, seems it has had some rather concerning updates in the past day or two.
A post from that thread, linked below, is currently highlighted on that site's front page with the title "An open letter libeling Richard Stallman as a pedophile was probably written by Drew DeVault, a progressive open-source developer who has 10 years of history posting lolicon on reddit":
https://kiwifarms.net/threads/drew-chadwick-devault-ddevault...
It describes various of Drew's online habits over the years, including sharing artwork of prepubescent children in swimsuits. Perhaps there is a perfectly reasonable non-pedophilic reason for this, and I do hope Drew will return to the comments here once more to explain.
Either way, with this in mind, it places this section of Drew's report in a rather different context:

Drew popped up on this thread yesterday saying that he'd "read most of the report". We can now ascertain that this was a lie and an attempt to mislead, because it's clear from the accumulation of evidence that he authored it. While writing and editing this document he would have read every word, not just "most of" it. He is also keen to congratulate himself by not-so-humbly announcing that "the depth of this report i…
> Knowing that the author has engaged in such deceptive sockpuppetry casts significant doubt on the document itself Does it though? If we're expected to separate the message from the messenger for Stallman but not for Drew, isn't that a double standard? Who cares where the information came from if the information is accurate?
It’s not a double standard to take the context of a writer’s desires in with their work, especially when they are actively trying to depose someone as important as RMS, and especially when the information is not accurate. What is a double standard though, based off of accurate in-context information, is that Drew DeVault is accusing RMS of pedophilia while he has a history of looking at and collecting drawings of bikini-clad prepubescent girls[0] and having VERY suspicious opinions disregarding minor female body autonomy[1].

This particular way of creating a walled garden, which relies on free work of free software volunteers, doesn't work thanks to AGPLv3. Whenever this license is involved, it works.
It unfortunately does nothing to prevent creation of a walled garden via creation of proprietary content in a proprietary network fabric on proprietary infrastructure, which... Seems to be all you need, given the popularity of Facebook, X, YouTube, and the multiple cloud service providers supporting something like (depending on who's crunching the numbers) 74% of enterprises. If the goal was to change behavior... Beh…
What’s your point, exactly? How does the “open source” approach solve this? Surely you’re not putting down the AGPLv3 without also recognizing that “open source” software only strengthens proprietary *wares?

#166GNU kind communication guidelines the report purports to be transphobic: "Please think about how to treat other participants with respect, especially when you disagree with them. For instance, call them by the names they use, and refer to them using words whose meanings (as you understand them) cover those participants' stated gender identities. Please also show tolerance and respect for people who do that using diff…
The "Kind Communication Guidelines" give too much wiggle room for misgendering. It is hate speech, and a form of psychological abuse, to misgender trans people when you should know better. Depending on jurisdiction, it may incur civil or criminal penalties as well. Again, there is a reason why the Contributor Covenant, itself written by a trans woman, is the gold standard for open source codes of conduct.
If people didn’t make their identity their personality and just wrote code then it wouldn’t be a problem.

#167Character assassination by anonymous cowards. The Free Software movement has been completely routed. MS owns GitHub. The farmers fighting for the "right to repair" their tractors are the "front" of the "battle" for user empowerment. But sure let's beat the shit out of the dead horse that's actually a real live old man with cancer who wrote fucking Emacs, see if that helps?
Specifically an “anonymous” coward named Drew DeVault who enjoys “NSFW” drawings of prepubescent girls[0] and has creepy opinions on female teen body autonomy[1], amongst other things.

On the contrary, I think open source strengthens everything. Where copyleft leaves users of other people's software looking over their shoulder to confirm they haven't broken the license, with open source licenses I can release some work and not worry about how it's used, and I can use somebody's work without fear that they will come after me later.
It does strengthen proprietary software. It also strengthens everyone else's software. It's the rising tide that floats all boats.

Those Reddit comments send shivers down the spine. What a disgraceful human being.
Re: The Stallman Report
#170Interesting to note that the A record for stallman-report.org was, up until a few days ago, the same as the A record for drewdevault.com: https://i.ibb.co/RNBGcTJ/securitytrails-drewdevault.png https://i.ibb.co/NYtTQnh/securitytrails-stallmanreport.png So even though the report is anonymous, we can be almost certain that Drew is behind it, as he was for the previous hit piece.
