One software freedom that Stallman does not mention is the freedom *not* to use the program because you dislike or don't want it for some reason
Free software tends to be flexible, have clear boundaries, split responsibilities, and replaceable components, thanks in part to openly defined protocols and formats
Proprietary software tends to want to lock you in into their freaking ecosystem, and even if they adopt an open standard, it's a part of an E-E-E strategy

scuttlebutt is such a great idea...
... the reference implementation? not so much
layers and layers of javascript, custom js db, looking around in .ssb it's a huge mess
I wanted to see how hard it would be reimplement it so I could have a cli/emacs client. No info anywhere apart from the fairly high level protocol guide (which is great).
