It's FOSSAre Codes of Conduct really needed for open source projects?
Joe Brockmeier@itsfoss I don't think I can overstate how disappointing it is that y'all are endorsing his take on CoC's.

Jimmy Sjölund 🇸🇪 🇫🇮 🇪🇺 🇺🇦 🇬🇱@itsfoss "If you are more annoying to work with than your contributions justify, you'll be ejected." which then means that if your contributions are considered good enough you can behave like a jerk. I think I'll keep CoC's in the projects I interact with. They were created to avoid this kind of behaviour.
su_liam@itsfoss “Let’s make FOSS culture conform more closely to techbro culture in general.”
@itsfoss I might be judging him unfairly. I’d need some specific examples of what he means by, "a kind of infectious social insanity producing lots of drama and politics and backbiting, and negative useful work,” before I could be definitive. But if the words “culture war” or “DEI” used as invective come up, I’m done.
abstractsun@itsfoss For large organizations, a public set of rules also provides legal cover against people who might otherwise sue/invoke the EU DSA/etc because they feel they have been unjustly banned. Also, in general, having well-articulated public rules is an honest signal of willing to put effort into maintaining a community (and also giving a hint of what that community may be like). I don't think there needs to be a one-size-fits-all solution, though.
Light@itsfoss Rules for communities are a good thing, so long as they are fair.
I.e. no rules against bigotry with caveats that "we will not act on complaints regarding reverseisms" and suchlike
