I interacted with one of RMS’s public emails last week (not sure if I talked to RMS directly or not) and it came from protonmail. That’s about as good an endorsement as one can hope for, so that’s where I plan to migrate to.
Keep drinking the Stallman Kool aid my friend. He said what he said, publicly, most revolutionaries have a fucked up side, we don’t often hear it out of their own mouths.
For me saying that sexual encounters with minors isn’t always harmful is beyond the pale and there’s no take backs.

Forgive me if I remain skeptical.
