    what is “CoC?”

    Code of Conduct, a set of instructions describing how people contributing to a project are expected to behave. It usually says “don’t be an asshole” but some go deep into specifics what they mean by that.

      Ah gotcha, well I guess I’d have to look into what that entails in particular to accurately judge that part, though I’m not a fan of codes of conduct in general tbh, excepting things like “please format X code like this” or something to ensure compatibility.

      It’s like how I don’t think my job has the right to tell me a goddamn thing about what I can and can’t do at (Freudian slip lmao, after*) work. They can suck it I’m gonna smoke weed and drink whiskey and I’ll see you shitheads on monday, mind ya own business lol.

        Things like:

        Don’t bring drama to dev channels,

        don’t bring transphobia to the projects’ dev channels maintained by mostly trans devs

        Are not as harmful as these “conservatives” would have you believe.

          Nah that’s fair for sure. “Dev channels” sounds a lot like “work” in this context, my job absolutely (imo) has the right to say “no transphobia at work.” I don’t smoke weed and drink whiskey at work either lol.

          My problem with CoCs comes when they tell me not to do X outside of work as if they have any real authority (and as if I’d respect it if they did have any. Commit crimes that don’t harm people today!)
