 @ryblade:matrix.org | should i be reporting that? :D | 18:47:04 |
 @gallantchef:matrix.foxears.life | Heh | 18:47:08 |
| @gallantchef:matrix.foxears.life | Well, a well defined CoC that's in-line with values that are truly anti-authoritarian and consistent with distaste for woke nonsense would be great | 18:47:42 |
| @gallantchef:matrix.foxears.life | But I suspect they won't be very receptive to that | 18:47:48 |
| @ryblade:matrix.org | make it anyway | 18:48:09 |

Give them no quarter This is not acceptable neither in language nor in the ideas behind it. Cut it out. | 18:48:17 |
| @ryblade:matrix.org | it can't hurt to at least put it out there and get their reaction :) | 18:48:27 |
| @gallantchef:matrix.foxears.life | Maybe "hey look, it's a CoC!" will be enough of a gesture to placate them | 18:48:32 |
| @gallantchef:matrix.foxears.life | Frankly, the Rust one is not too bad | 18:49:00 |
| @ryblade:matrix.org | i've honestly thought an objectively worded anti-authoritarian CoC is a long time coming, something robust, not just some meme project | 18:49:02 |
| @gallantchef:matrix.foxears.life | I'm genuinely interested in such a thing | 18:49:16 |
| @ryblade:matrix.org | haven't read the rust one, i'll do that today for sure. | 18:49:36 |
| @gallantchef:matrix.foxears.life | They tend to focus on the software, and not the politics or drama | 18:49:48 |
| @gallantchef:matrix.foxears.life | Which I feel is the appropriate direction for a software project | 18:49:59 |
 @jonringer:matrix.org | Yea, but you have to have some sort of foundation. In 99% of my interaction in nixpkgs, things are pretty technical and dry. It's very rare that a CoC is really needed. | 18:50:00 |
| @gallantchef:matrix.foxears.life | It's only needed because of non-participants asking for one | 18:50:19 |
| @jonringer:matrix.org | But when incidents do arise, do you want something to say, "You are out of line, and this is why" | 18:50:20 |
| @ryblade:matrix.org | this sort of crap honestly feels like a hostile takeover, and it's always the usual suspects involved, too... not gonna say more than that for fear of stirring the hornet's nest. | 18:50:21 |

It's only needed because of non-participants asking for one some of the people in the discussion do participate. And there's more way to participate than just issues and PRs | 18:50:45 |

|  tomberek joined the room. | 18:50:56 |
| @ryblade:matrix.org | this needs to be stopped before they start demanding to know our vax status too | 18:50:59 |
| @jonringer:matrix.org | In reply to @ryblade:matrix.org
this needs to be stopped before they start demanding to know our vax status too I don't think that's the narrative. | 18:52:03 |
| @ryblade:matrix.org | perhaps that was a bit far, but who knows at this point. i'm always afraid of the "never satisfied" complex of internet authoritarians. | 18:52:54 |
| @gallantchef:matrix.foxears.life | The initial narrative matters precious little, because if you give them an inch, they'll take a mile. Or centimetre, and kilometre if we want to use internationally inclusive language | 18:53:16 |
| @gallantchef:matrix.foxears.life | Once they have their moderator committee, eventually they'll install more people who think like them | 18:53:46 |
| @gallantchef:matrix.foxears.life | And then it's all over but the crying | 18:53:49 |

The initial narrative matters precious little, because if you give them an inch, they'll take a mile. Or centimetre, and kilometre if we want to use internationally inclusive language I would like to keep extrapolation out of the discussion, I've already spent too much time on off-topic discussions in off-topic | 18:53:58 |
| @gallantchef:matrix.foxears.life | That's fair | 18:54:09 |
| @gallantchef:matrix.foxears.life | Let's evaluate this in a vacuum then | 18:54:19 |
