Stallman is back and r/Linux is fighting... discussions of sexism, pedophilia and sexual harassment. Reactionaries are very present.
Thought some of you might wanna engage in the conversation :) A libreddit link for privacy.

Ok, explain who Stallman is like I'm five years old....also what is Linux
He designed some of the software at the heart of open source software. Most notably GCC, which is a compiler for code. A compiler takes code from human readable form into a form usable by the computer. This is required by languages like C++, but not languages like python or JavaScript. He was also largely responsible for Emacs, which is the only piece of software a computer needs in addition to a browser. Although some computers, like mine, require proprietary software like Minecraft as well.
