I can believe that and (regardless of who said it) I agree with this advice; the perspective of what we should be doing -- working for software freedom -- is part of that advice. The irony of who it comes from is also not lost on me but the larger goal is the critical point.Stallman told me I can best help by becoming a member and being diligent about making sure they continue to do what they did when Stallman was still there.
Let's hope the FSF's next president has a commitment to software freedom which compares favorably to Stallman's commitment. According to https://listas.trisquel.info/pipermail/freedom-misc/2019-September/004745.html FSF Vice President Alexandre Oliva (of GNU Linux-libre fame) is Acting President.
