" He has shown himself to be misogynist, ableist, and transphobic, among other serious accusations of impropriety. " These are in the appendix of the site ( https://rms-open-letter.github.io/appendix ) and lists its sources. Which is for as far as accusations go really well sourced.
This said, its like 50/50. On one hand there are some dodgy things in there that shines badly on him, then again; are there things that have gone through the courts? On the other hand some of the complaints are so...meh. So trivial. People with thin skins that are unable to handle different opinions.

How come this open letter is hosted on some dodgy website owned by Microsoft? ( https://news.microsoft.com/announcement/microsoft-acquires-github/ )
@xyfdi @matrix @comzeradd @Bajax I doubt I’d like RMS personally, but that’s not his job. His job is to be a fanatic for software freedom, and no one does that better.
@matrix @Bajax @comzeradd Holy shit, these obnoxious idiots.
You know what, purging them from every organization is the only way. They’ll turn whatever they are in into an empty skinsuit.
They drew first blood long ago.
