I had never heard of techrights before. It seems to have a lot of angry/nasty articles. There's a huge amount of paranoia and hatred towards big tech. A lot of personal attacks against individuals and his former employer. I find myself questioning whether the authors are entirely sane.

Can anyone confirm whether it is (or was?) really a respectable/serious free software site?

complicated. sometimes, they do real and solid reporting.

on the other hand, there's a reason multiple tech-focused communities ban their articles

i personally am happy to see this judgement, their attacks on mjg are unhinged and misguided

Example of real solid reporting?
I don't think I will, thank you. Feel free to Google it.
I was slightly confused by that response but after trying (and failing) to discover any solid reporting by googling myself I at least understand reticence to condone anything on that site.
one thing that i do find worth condoning is his staunch support for RMS.
It's a QAnon of FOSS.
