Another round of same old story: RMS Richard Matthew Stallman silently decided to return back into FSF board of directors after not so long absence.

Large amount of butthurt and backlash already generated, multiple organizations decided to drop FSF support, many developers of unclear gender also joined in. Even FSFE (FSF Europe) raised concerns and jumped in wagon. Old heroes of previous shitstorm (GNOME, OSI) also already there. And of course corporations like Red Hat also support this, they've stopped FSF-related donations until all FSF board will be reexamined and reelected. Everything like in 2019.

They'd published "letter" in form of github repo with signatures: https://github.com/rms-open-letter/rms-open-letter.github.io
Issues already disabled because of pro-RMS comments.

Some specific people openly displayed their intentions, like musl libc (lightweight glibc clone) author, who proposed to not only remove RMS, but also ban all GNU work (including glibc) until authors denounce FSF.

Counter letter was started: https://rms-support-letter.github.io/
It was first published on Russian-language sites, so half of supporters are Russian-speaking nonames from github. Others are mostly nonames too, so no one cares about that letter anyway.
