the Go maintainers are now claiming that objectors to Google's opt-out telemetry proposal on the Go compiler - yes, really - are arguing in bad faith and violating the Code of Conduct, and their comments are getting hidden.
well done lads, you just keep doing that as hard as possible. i'm sure it'll work out great.
@adversary Indeed.

Such codes of conduct are designed to ensure that a central power structure (usually a corporation) has total and unappealable control on the project and can use such power with minimal review. In the case of #Golang, ultimate power on any conflict is given to Google's OSPO (whoever that is now that Chris DiBona has been laid off).
The CC was primarily adapted from the policy documents of the Geek Feminism wiki, which itself was a project of the Ada Initiative.
Those policy docs were written by a dyadic trans man from the Bay Area named Tim Chevalier (aka Monadic, aka fatneckbeardguy on Twitter). Chevalier designed these policy documents to not just enable, but to actively sanction the use of these policies to suppress his political opposition.

The CC was directly adapted from these policy documents by Coraline Ehmke, who is a friend of Chevalier's. That's why the GF wiki is referenced in the footer of it.
The other thing referenced in the footer was the first attempt to turn the GF policies into a CoC.
