I already knew that Ubuntu is botnet but does KDE Neon has this (((feature))) as well since it's based on Ubuntu?

What did Stallman mean by this?

No, it's literally a telemetry tool to improve KDE for actual user-oriented distros. That's what it was specifically designed for. They don't try to hide either, and people who install it usually do so because they want to help improve KDE with their usage data.

Read the source code...
However what they meant is that they develop the main release using Ubuntu as their target machine (for dependencies, their versions and such), but the maintainers of other distros just adjust at compile time.
If you're paranoid, you can always insert a 3d printed Stallman up your ass to prevent data from leaking
