Drew DeVault has weird public politics, as evidenced by among other things putting this website together, which is taking a set of public political stances; he has some amount of social influence, and he's involved in free and open source software. He certainly deserves to be thought of as a weird little guy of FOSS in a pejorative sense.

Found this in an older upload of the same URL https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41837782

He does seem kinda hateful in general, the list seems to have a pretty low threshold to have someone on there. Vincent Canfield just seems to be there for being a "free speech absolutist," and many others are there for vaguely right wing beliefs. Guillermo Rauch looks pretty pathetic knowing that he reposts Musk's tweets, but is that something you would put someone on a list for?

And I don't understand what this line is supposed to mean

>[Eron Wolf] doesn’t like the Open Source Definition[source] and cites other weird little guys like Bryan Lunduke and Eric S. Raymond to make his case
