Comments from one of the people responsible for creating the CoC are here: https://www.reddit.com/r/freebsd/comments/7xapx2/freebsds_new_geek_feminismbased_code_of_conduct/du7200b/ https://www.reddit.com/r/freebsd/comments/7xapx2/freebsds_ne...
- Slansitartop 9y ago> Unwelcome comments regarding a person's lifestyle choices and practices, including those related to food, health, parenting, drugs, and employment. So it's off limits to criticize and anti-vaxxer if they're injecting that into some mailing list? > simulated physical contact (e.g., textual descriptions like "hug" or "backrub") without consent Oh dear. > [No]...following. So no twitter? Why don't they just limit discussion to technical and project-related topics on their communications systems? Seems like that's the right approach to me. It looks like this was the earlier CoC: https://web.archive.org/web/20171222235533/https://www.freebsd.org/internal/code-of-conduct.html https://web.archive.org/web/20171222235533/https://www.freeb...
- yorwba 9y agoPresumably an anti-vaxxer would be running afoul of the same CoC requirement once they inject that into a mailing list.
- tracker1 9y agoHow about instead of this CoC: * discussions must be left to on-topic discussion only. * No personal attacks or harassment. This trend towards selectively banning X, Y and Z behaviors does nothing to actually improve a given environment. I know I there's a trend to downvote anyone into oblivion, but when participating in society it's often necessary to be able to block out the crap oneself instead of relying on some other imposing force to do it for you.
- bitcharmer 9y agoCan someone explain why this was necessary and what was wrong with the previous CoC?
