"Please do not publicly discuss this" is very worrying from a process standpoint. There's a very important thing that directly messaging the authors doesn't do - it makes people aware that other people find it unreasonable.
For instance, it'd be somewhat straightforward to imply that there aren't many people with issues with the CoC.
- 13thLetter 11y agoYes. There's been a troublesome pattern lately where someone, usually a stranger, comes into a software-related community requesting a code of conduct, which usually enshrines a very narrow political viewpoint and is easily abused for harassment purposes; the community protests or at the very least demonstrates that opinions are highly divided on the topic; and then the operators of the community install the code anyway. It kind of looks like in this case the operators of the community are going to cut out the middleman.
