IIRC, their previous CoC was quite controversial when it was introduced. The new one appears to address much of the criticism that I recall, and looks like a big improvement.

- loeg 6y agoI don't know about "quite controversial;" reddit skews a lot younger than the actual FreeBSD developer community and there were quite a few extremely vocal non-developers making a stink. Still: > 35% were dissatisfied with the code of conduct adopted in 2018, 34% were neutral, and 30% were satisfied. Even in the best light, more than 1/3 (35%) were not happy with the old CoC. So maybe a good description would be, "it was not unifying and became more of a distraction itself than a tool for avoiding harmful distractions."
