Context:

Somebody made a post promoting the proprietary search engine they are working on, claiming in the post that it "would make Stallman smile". In a comment below the post they said that they made the statement about Stallman to "drive engagement". The post was later removed for promoting proprietary software.

At the top is a screenshot from the modlog saying:

Removed Post We're building a search engine to compete with DuckDuckGo. No JS, no WASM, no spying. Just a statically generated results page.
reason: Comm rule 2: Don’t promote proprietary software

Below that is an image of Stallman smiling.

maybe they're really into creepy sexist jokes and defending paedophiles and they figured RMS would overlook the licensing to support some fellow travelers...

Dude is 71 years old and has dedicated his life to establishing and promoting free software. Let it go. The only creep here is you.
