> The pro-RMS vs anti-RMS thing going on since RMS's removal from the FSF in 2019

it's been going on MUCH longer than that.

No matter what he's done for free software, he's also a super-creep based on some of his comments

I mean, yes, but it was brought to a crest then. It went from a bunch of folks in the community separately saying "yeah, he's kinda problematic..." to a bunch of folks standing together and saying "he's problematic!"

So of course it had been going on a while if more than 3000 people were "suddenly" willing to sign the open letter against him.

Standing together? How brave indeed!

That list contains the worst careerists in OSS, many of whom have joined any cancel mob that has ever formed. I'd use it as a no-hire list.

3000 people "stand up". The other 1000,000 are flagged. Nice brigading going on here.
