The DeVault Report:

https://dmpwn.info/

It looks like @drewdevault, the coward who secretly authored (and tried to deny authorship) of the Stallman Report is now trying to nuke every part of his past.

The DeVault Report contains tons of archived links showing Drew is super into lolis, like crazy into lolis. He's written bots/scrapers and image hosts just for his loli addiction.

He accused Stallman of defending potatophiles, and yet DeVault's own reddit history shows him constantly defending nonces.

@djsumdog >secretly authored (and tried to deny authorship)
given the benefit of the doubt, was this ever proven? he could just host it for someone

Yes. The DNS A records for the stallman report website were the same as his blog at one point. Not sure if it's in the report, but someone also queried his blog's IP address with the stallman report host and was given back a LetsEncrypt certificate for Stallman Report draft site:

So I think it's clear he's behind it. Even if he didn't write all of it, he certainly helped and hosted it, and in the HackerNews thread he pretended it was someone else's report he wasn't involved with.

@djsumdog so no? as I said, he could just host it for someone. doesn't mean he wrote it
while it's fun to clown on drew, it's bad to ignore how there could be a whole shadowy cabal of retards out there and drew is just the one with the spotlight. he was involved with irc channels, he consults his idiocy with people online and irl... there's still names to look into for people who care, and it's wrong to mislead them.

🤔 yea I have wondered about this. It is true that, at the very least, he's hosting and involved with the hit piece (and he's written his own on his public blog).

But it's interesting he's not banned on Hackernews (I am, both my personal account and my site, battlepenguin.com, were banned in early 2021). I do think there's more to this; as in someone(s) using him as a useful moron to try and dislodge the FSF leadership.

The open source world is getting super weird right now. Torvalds just capitulated to government sanctions against long term Russian contributors and called everyone who criticized him bots/trolls. Automattic should have had an easy case against a Silver Lake backed company that was clearly violating their trademark, but instead he's shown how little he knows of the law and looks like a massively insane, deranged asshole.

Then again, it could just be DeVault is supporting this because of his own ego. Hyprland is vastly superior to Sway, so rather than try an make Sway better, he defames all the Hyprland devs.

It use to be that open source devs helped each other make good projects, even if a new project competed with their own. It seems like when there's no money to compete over, and everyone's been maladjusted by social media, the next step is just to attack everyone whose better than you with unhinged bullshit.

I don't think he still works on sway. Same for wlroots and probably bunch of other stuff people will attribute to him, he just started them and left.
In fact, I can't picture ddv acting out of malice at all.

Yea I know he doesn't work on them currently, but wouldn't his ego still be at issue since he did start both of them?

If he wasn't acting out of malice with his previous rants about Hyprland/Stallman/other crap, does he genuinely believe in his stance? Is he a True Believer™?

And how does that square with the recent revelation of his loliphile/pedo advocacy on his Reddit account? Does he see himself as totally different than RMS's stances? He obviously must see the problem or else he wouldn't rapidly trying to delete everything from these old accounts.

What do you think his motives are? Are they purely his, or are there outside influences? A little of both?

@djsumdog @menherahair I feel like he hates Stallman because unlike him, RMS keeps his free software activism separate from his other activism. Drew, on the other hand, believes in the whole "everything is political" bullshit and wants the FOSS movement to cater to his narrow worldview. You can clearly see that if you check SourceHut's ToS, where he bans White nationalists (with Trump supporters being lumped in) and crypto related projects. I don't think his hatred for cryptocurrencies isn't out of ego, unless it's an attempt to ruin funding for his "competitors".

Other than the pedo advocacy allegations against Stallman, Drew DeVault has openly criticized the GNU CoC for not being "trans inclusive" enough and has suggests replacing the CoC after kicking out Stallman, and he thinks the FSF and GNU project should be ran by LGBT and PoC.
