This seems like some misguided ire. Stallman has notoriously lived like this for a long time, this isn't a new thing. He is known for being somewhat of a couch surfer. I wouldn't assume everything you read about Stallman in the future is somehow related to people calling him out for odd stances on pedophilia (which people have a right to do).

> This cancel-culture is disgusting and is utterly unacceptable to treat anybody like this, no matter what their views are.

I wholeheartedly agree. Excommunication (plus more!) for speech is disastrous.

> especially career twitter archaeologists who dig up old tweets and put them out of context

Richard Stallman doesn't tweet. What are you talking about?

Taking a stance of 'no matter what their views are' seems a bit extreme to me, for example, I would not mind people who condone the killing or expulsion of a given race being 'cancelled'. My concern is primarily with people taking comments that don't reflect a person's current views, willingly disregarding context or simply having views I don't find particularly objectionable.
