@p FSF is dead to me, I'm sure many will agree.
@Xalef @p What do you mean? They fired RMS ages ago over fake bullshit, unless he's back in his original position after all that proved him innocent, I want nothing to do with FSF. A bunch of groups signed a letter that essentially forced RMS out, but I think he was (is?) back in a lesser position.

Here's the letter that forced his firing:

Here's the letter that supports him:

Some notable groups that had members sign the letter forcing him out:

Debian Project, GNOME Foundation, OSI, Creative Commons, Freedom of the Press Foundation, Framasoft, Mozilla, The HardenedBSD Foundation, SUSE, Riseup Networks, X.org Foundation, The FreeDOS Project, Tor Project, others.

Another excuse to post this image. (Also Riseup is CIA, mark my words.)

@Xalef @coyote Discard everything they have ever said and just look at what they do. It's a honeypot for ancoms: free email service, free VPN. If the feds weren't already inside it, they'd be on their way, it's too juicy a target. Also funded by the NED, which is a known CIA cutout.

@p @coyote @Xalef They even lied about not giving data to the FBI (they gave in once).

I was never aligned with their beliefs but I used to use their VPN service (it was free and it didn't require an invite) and it is probably one of my biggest regrets.

@cee @coyote @p @Xalef Luckily, it was only brief and I never used it for anything shady. It was the only free VPN I knew of that ran entirely off of donations (there was also SigaVPN but it was shut down due to lack of donors). I only assume that they didn't collect any data because they never banned me for promoting anarcho-capitalism while using their VPN.

Either way, their VPN service sucks. The server is chosen at random and every single on of them is slow. Their client also lacks a killswitch, so if it disconnects, you risk leaking shit. And I really hate the constant donation reminder it gives you.

If you can't/don't want to pay for a VPN, just use Tor or I2P, preferably the latter since many nodes have been exposed as honeypots lately. I2P supposedly uses a P2P model which remedies this somewhat.
