I am neither fit nor qualified to replace ESR, RMS, or any of that lot of reprobates, nor would I willingly take their place. I'm a mediocre programmer who's a fair hand with a soldering iron, and I don't pretend to be anything else. But someone at my level who was also about as much of a decent person as me would be a massive upgrade over the gigantic, festering heap of racist, misogynist, nonce-defending office sexual harassers that people still for some reason look up to in Open Source.
@mos_8502 is there any new (alternarive) organisation to replace FSF/GNU?
@bugbear @mos_8502 i hear people mention the Software Freedom Conservancy (@conservancy) every time this comes up but i don’t actually know that much about them
Heya! We are a non-profit focused on ethical technology. Besides being the only organization currently doing copyleft license enforcement, we are focusing efforts on the software right to repair movement and we have a wide range of diversity and inclusion efforts including @outreachy
We're happy to help support the FOSS community in creating a fair and just technological society!

@conservancy @bugbear @outreachy @bradk Sounds great. What are your policies on sexual harassment by open source figures of note, such as Richard Stallman, or vile racism, as spouted by Eric Raymond?
