This one:
Avoid organizations becoming too central to people’s lives
Seems at odds with this one:
Enforce strict policies around sexual or romantic relationships within power structures
Due to the use of the terms "organization" and "community" instead of "company" or an equivalent, it's unclear if they are referring entirely to employment (where such a prohibition would be pretty common and mundane), or if they are also including open-source projects, where it would seem like a huge intrusion. Submitting an issue or pull request shouldn't have any effect on your ability to date someone.
- yawaramin 10y agoI think it makes sense if you interpret it as having rules against seeing someone if you're in a position of power over them. If you happen to be in same organisation but have no power over them, there isn't a conflict.
- chris_7 10y agoRight, and that makes sense for companies, but someone should be able to make a PR against a Github project for which their wife is a maintainer.
- yawaramin 10y agoI think these rules kind of all cease to apply at the marital boundary, and there new and equally troublesome rules take over :-)
