+# amjoseph has left sourcehut
+
+I have removed all of my repositories from sourcehut.
+
+I do not want to associate myself with the kind of smear tactics on
+display in the following links:
+
+ - https://web.archive.org/web/20240929110752/https://rms-draft-84eb252.drewdevault.com/
+ - https://crt.sh/?q=rms-draft-84eb252.drewdevault.com

+
+There is [cryptographic
+proof](https://crt.sh/?q=rms-draft-84eb252.drewdevault.com) that these
+documents were published by the person in control of
+`drewdevault.com`. So far as I know, the founder and current leader
+of sourcehut is the only such person. I asked him if these documents
+were his work, and the response I received can most charitably be
+described as "not a denial".
+
+> First they came for the communists, and I did not speak out... because I am not a communist.
+>
+> Then they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out... because I am not a socialist.
+>
+> Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out... because I am not a trade unionist.
+
+I'm not waiting around until it's my turn. I want nothing to do with these tactics.
+
+Richard Stallman is a hero, and history will remember him along with
+the others who have advanced the cause of human freedom: Gandhi,
+Theodore Roosevelt, Václav Havel, and Edward Snowden. And those who
+spend so much effort slandering RMS? They will be forgotten.
+
+All the repositories which were previously here can currently be found
+on codeberg.org, under the same username.
