Here is the Rust code of conduct: https://www.rust-lang.org/policies/code-of-conduct https://www.rust-lang.org/policies/code-of-conduct Can you provide an example of something in the code of conduct that you think makes people walk on eggshells?

Acording to the link I have to be friendly, safety inducing, welcoming, kind (non rude), keep unstructured critique to a minimum, non-insulting and be careful not to demean or harass anyone. This is ripe for misinterpretation and witch-hunting. It will get people to walk on eggshells. In my circles these rules are called comon sense. We don't have to write things down because every adult knows the rule: Don't be an asshole.

  Most of this is the accepted behavior for white people in San Francisco (somewhere on the scale from nice to passive aggressive), but not so much outside the West Coast. Although, many British insults read as compliments to Americans, so maybe it's possible to maliciously comply.

From the CoC: > Please be kind and courteous. There’s no need to be mean or rude. > Even if you feel you were misinterpreted or unfairly accused, chances are good there was something you could’ve communicated better — remember that it’s your responsibility to make your fellow Rustaceans comfortable. Us Norwegians are well known for coming across as rude. And especially since being mean or rude is a subjective thing, I feel it's highly likely I could come across as unintentionally rude to others. And according to that it's my fault if I do. I definitely think twice before interacting with a community that has a CoC like that, because I don't need such drama in my life.

The Rust community is famous for being friendly. This means that people who are not good at being friendly are being careful what they say there, or have left that space.
