Yea. I fail to see how something like CoC can ensure a truly harmless community, when it is the covert power (the unspoken vibes, ambiance, etc.) that ultimately dictates the level of malice in a community.
- JoshTriplett 8y agoA code of conduct alone doesn't, but it's a start. A statement like this one from the project lead(s) helps as well, to set the overall direction. This isn't the end of the process for the kernel community; it's a major step in the right direction.
- sridca 8y agoIt remains to be seen how this all plays out. Personally I remain skeptical, because in one community I saw first-hand how the people at the top used something like CoC to justify their malicious acts, in the name of being welcoming. It is the same old morality game that does not ensure any genuine harmony.
