If people had been able to behave themselves in a way that was appropriate, we wouldn't be in this situation... but we are, because they couldn't.
Who really cares about who said what and if they meant it?
End result: badness happened. Maybe we can just all move on and get on with doing stuff like, writing code and stuff and stop drumming up more drama?
I'm serious though, this is trolling 101; if you make a fuss about it, and pay lots of attention to it, it makes things worse.
Are you trying to make things worse?
If the answer is no, then don't respond like this, because it's literally just stirring up trouble.
If the answer is yes, then please, do it somewhere else.
- javagram 7y agoI disagree. Stirring up trouble is going fishing for 4chan memes and then attacking normal, non-political people because they used a “OK symbol” which is a completely normal hand symbol in their culture. As far as the switch from one CoC to another (React already had a CoC since 2017), I’m not sure what difference it makes. A CoC is just a piece of paper, if it’s going to be enforced against people for inoffensive actions, that’s concerning, if it’s only going to be used for common sense (banning people who are mean or trolling) then I have no issue. What happens with a CoC is unknown but I doubt it will have much bad effect as other projects have adopted it and then not needed to do anything.
