He also reportedly told female students he'd kill himself if they don't go out with him and had a mattress in his office specifically for the insinuation women could come and have sex with him on it. As far as I'm concerned he shouldn't be trusted with the FOSS movement at all, much less be an idolized leader within it.

Yeah, I found myself strangely disappointed with the Deprogram episode, I have to admit. I can't actually say anything that could have been done better, Hasan isn't an academic, doesn't have some kind of unique insight for a more western audience like Luna Oi, nothing like that, but nonetheless I was sad that it didn't really stick out when Hasan is basically the only leftist "content creator" I actually pay any attention to.

Frankly I'm hesitant about FOSS as a movement these days. It has a libertarian bent a mile wide (actually giving your license clauses that stop people from doing harm with your software in various ways makes it "no longer free"), is poorly applicable to the actual user, and doesn't care about anything other than itself (free software should be intersectional but the FSF continues to champion and cater to white men and sex pests)
