@wowaname @xianc78 right, he's kinda always been like that. Nothing's changed in 13+ years.

Except that criticizing religion (with maybe the exception of fundamental Christianity) will get you banned from SourceHut.

@xianc78 @wowaname the ultimate reality is not even militant athiests can't criticize Islam without legitimate death threats and actual bomb threats and shit. Like they'll actually fucking kill you for real. The leftoids also are obsessed with brown people.

@crunklord420 @wowaname Islam worship seemed to have died down back around 2019-ish or so. I remember Muslims being white-knighted everywhere back in 2017-2018 due to Trump's comments, but I don't see it that much anymore. I guess it stopped when comments about "Islam is right about women/gays" comments started coming from the right.

@crunklord420 @xianc78 yeah im loling at the /g/ thread now

@wowaname @crunklord420 The worst part is that after he got demoted, he eventually got promoted again (and to moderator status too), only to abuse his privileges by kicking everyone off of the IRC channel after getting into a slapfight with someone, and deleting a thread about a calculator programming language.

After learning about these events, it was clear to me that he is literally the worst kind of Internet Tough Guy. He will literally climb the ranks of whatever Internet community and abuse his moderator powers on people he disagrees with. But now, he doesn't need moderator privileges. He just needs to be an influential figure in the FOSS community along with a cult of personality and he can cancel figures like Vaxry, or of course, Richard Stallman. You got organizations like Codeberg or the openSuse team that listen to him.

I've seen people say "Well that was a decade ago" .... he's literally 10x worse now. He's grown zero, or in the negative direction.

The whole RMS thing makes me wonder if he's be commandeered by some corpo to destroy the GPL in a psyop, but I think the simpler explanation is he's just that fucking scored earth retarded.

@djsumdog @crunklord420 @wowaname Wasn't GitHub's Co-pilot made to undermine the GPL?

Honestly, I think there are people who are worse than Drew DeVault. The "ethical software" movement immediately comes to mind. They actually want to destroy freedom 0 because they realize that it allows their ideological opponents to use their software in anyway they please. The only difference is that movement is still very niche. I can't think of any software released under an "ethical/antifascist" license that is even worth using.
