The Trisquel forums (another forum full of stallmanites) are less active these days but
two threads are about this and people are mostly disappointed in this, treating it like he died.
Some speculation on there about John Sullivan- the current executive director- replacing him (in fairness he presumably ran most day-to-day stuff already). He's a vegan, not great, but then some of the best people have been vegan or vegetarian. More concerningly he does not seem to be an absolutely insane free software fanatic.
I notice that Mr. Sullivan has privated all his LiveJournal posts
in the past month or so. A precaution taken after the initial attacks on Stallman, against similar attacks by the transgendered mob/lying press/bigcorp (same thing)? Or.. did he know in advance? ? ? ? ???
EDIT: I'm also seeing a very real pattern with these attempts to attack Stallman as 'divisive' or 'bad for free software' because some projects have split off from the GNU project- they have absolutely nothing to do with substansive technical disagreements, it's all just troons being driven nuts by their hormones. See, for example, the Libreboot troon complaining in 2016 about some lunatic being fired for cause.
The Free Software Foundation recently fired a transgendered employee of
the FSF, just for being trans, because some transphobic cissexist people
wrote negativly about her. The FSF fired her because they thougdt she,
rather than the assholes bullying her, was causing the FSF potential
damage. As a result, she was fired from the FSF.
As a trans person myself, I find this disgusting.
I'm declaring here and now to the whole world that Libreboot is no
longer part of the GNU project. I do not believe that the FSF or the GNU
project deserve to exist.
Please remove libreboot from the GNU mailing list infrastracture, and
GNU Savannah admins please delete the "lr" account. I own libreboot.org
and I have the ability to create my own mailing lists for the libreboot
project. I do not wish to use the GNU/nonGNU mailing lists anymore.
Libreboot is not part of GNU or FSF anymore. I hereby denounce both GNU
and FSF.
Long live the LGBT community, and long live the free software movement.
Meanwhile, FSF and GNU can both go fuck themselves.

Let's just say I would be more than a little surprised if there was an ounce of truth to this story of the wicked FSF firing this brave transwoman, given that the FSF published a loving profile of the man in question with all his deluded pronouns two years prior.

EDIT2: The funniest of the discussions about this event should be available on this mailing list archive, though some discussion was occurring on IRC and the private gnu-prog-discuss list.
https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/libreboot/2016-09/index.html
Highlights include several of the actual contributors (in terms of code) to the project leaving over the sabotage by the chap involved, and a gay vegan athiest furry explaining how he's very disappointed by the whole situation and
everyone should learn from Zootopia.
It seems like in early 2017 one of the
other trannies involved in Libreboot managed to talk Leah who "was at the time struggling with gender dysphoria and substance abuse" down, and the war against GNU stopped. For then..

EDIT3: This is all covered in like the first three pages of this thread, but it's still funny, dammit.
along with the rest of the Python community.
