on a surface level the statement isn’t controversial in any way, but the particular language that’s used signals something else entirely
- pvg 3y agoNo, the rule is about not going on irrelevant tangents and not dingleberrypicking stuff from submissions. Its actual effect is that such diversions get moderated by users and moderators, just like this one did by users.
- jrsj 3y agoFair, you’re probably right
- lpil 3y agoGolang had a very similar statement on their homepage when the Gleam homepage was created. It's very normal.
- jrsj 3y agoNot sure what this was since it appears they just have a link to the code of conduct now. The type of statement isn’t really the issue, but the specific language used being in the form of political slogans and the “Nazi” bit. I don’t remember seeing anything quite like that on the Go page. Or any other programming language’s page.
