That's gonna end up a shitshow and a half, no matter which side you're on

Yeah, most of his controversies stem from him being overly "rational" and not knowing when to shut up. It would be a shit show but I'm here for it.

Not sure, if someone who says this when describing how they use their computer: https://stallman.org/stallman-computing.html:

I generally do not connect to web sites from my own machine, aside from a few sites I have some special relationship with. I usually fetch web pages from other sites by sending mail to a program (see https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/womb/hacks.git) that fetches them, much like wget, and then mails them back to me. Then I look at them using a web browser, unless it is easy to see the text in the HTML page directly. I usually try lynx first, then a graphical browser if the page needs it.

Would really be keen on socializing on a platform like Lemmy, even if it is open-source/free. :D
