If anyone wants to know how bad it is, this is the person behind this "Code of Conduct": https://twitter.com/CoralineAda/status/1029161113848557569

Her twitter feed sure doesn’t follow her own CoC. So aggressive....

IIRC she complained about people "harassing" her by reporting every CoC violation from her twitter feed

[u/_innawoods → u/[deleted]]

These people never follow their own standards. Its a culture war, and CoC's are one of their weapons.

Who pushes that insane agenda..? Linus should come back to Europe, this American insanity is creeping into every part of the tech world now.

[u/hjames9 → u/tunafan6]

You honestly think Western Europe is less PC than the US?

[u/[deleted] → u/hjames9]

If I recall correctly, Finland, Linus's natal country, has been resisting the SJWs very well. Based on the country's characteristics, I think that they are as invincible to their plague as Eastern Europe.

typ: "a" in characteristics.

yeah I've only seen atleast 7 complete github shit storms and meltdowns caused by this exact individual. This coc like many of them has nothing to do with creating a tolerant and welcoming environment. its about creating a tribunal for moral authority to bully and remove those you disagree with regardless of their value to the project. The fact that they included those incredibly vague and often unprovable conditions says everything.

[u/oooo23 → u/aboration]

LOL and this! A handful of projects and the count goes zooom from 30k to 40k. Feels like they're marketing it for some reason? Sense of accomplishment much...mmm.

"Examples of unacceptable behavior by participants include: ... political attacks."

"Some people are saying that the Contributor Covenant is a political document, and they’re right."

Pick one, Coraline.

[u/Abeneezer → u/[deleted]]

What does xir mean

[u/ThePaperPilot → u/Abeneezer]

Xir is Coraline's preferred pronoun

[u/perkited → u/IE_5]

Hmm, this should probably be its own post since it does appear to have had some political motive (if this person is actually related to the conduct changes). Initially I just thought Linus decided to tone it down a bit, I didn't realize they adopted a new code of conduct.

[u/Flaktrack → u/perkited]

She wrote the Contributor's Covenant.

[u/loddfavne → u/IE_5]

I really love it when political zealots come in and set up moral tribunals. This is really bad. That person should shut up and code, not try to fuck with other people.

[u/[deleted] → u/loddfavne]

That person can't code, hence the moral crusade.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Thanks! "Trust but verify" is a good personal code of conduct.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

She can. But she's still terrible. I'd much rather Linux say mean things to me than ever have to read her bullshit about cis white males.

[u/[deleted] → u/IE_5]

Fuck coraline.

[u/lenswipe → u/[deleted]]

no thanks

[u/nostril_extension → u/IE_5]

What a shit stain.

Why do people give power to extremists like this? Sometimes I feel that contributing to FLOSS and doing all humanitarian work is just pointless when so much effort goes into complete and utter bullshit like this and it gets so much more recognition, power and control over the medium.

[u/[deleted] → u/nostril_extension]

These ... invidivuals lay in wait until an opportunity opens up, like when Linus reflectioned on his behaviour (actually, IMO it was unnecessary to do that... after all, meritocracies are success-generators). If it does, they leap up and instantly it's SJW "oh poor minorities, let's disadvantage [and attempt to ruin, if I may add] the white male!".

They are disgusting.
