Slashdot Mirror

They actually have this in their CoC:

"Our open source community prioritizes marginalized people’s safety over privileged people’s comfort. "

That's funny. I can't seem to find that quote in the Code of Conduct.

They follow by saying they condone "reversism's". In other words if you are white male or female you can be openly harassed within the community because you are considered privileged. What the hell has happened to these projects?!

Again, I don't see that in the actual Code of Conduct.

However, I was able to find those words in a template Code of Conduct posted by the TODO Group. Did you somehow end up reading the wrong code of conduct?

For a while we've seen attempts like this in the open source world.

Want to muscle your way into an OSS project, despite lacking the talent or skill (or willingness) to contribute anything other than drama, identity politics, and an insatiable urge control others (or remove them if they don't fall in line)? Force a Code of Conduct (which is often explicitly racist and/or sexist, dismissive of merit, and vague enough to be selectively enforced) down its throat! It even works on the largest, most influential projects, and lets you dictate developers' behavior on unrelated corners of the web!

This cancerous shit-smoking beast is adopted by projects that want to die. It's the product of known trans rabble-rouser Coraline Ada Ehmke. If you want to see how this kind of crap plays out, see the Opalgate controversy "issue thread" and the subsequent "Create a Code of Conduct" thread where Coraline tries to put in place this thing that lets Coraline oust people who disagree with her. The various SJW comments in those threads are extremely enlightening as they illustrate very well how laying down subjective "rules" like this opens a project to subjective interpretation based on the feels of any given person that wants to bully others USING THOSE RULES AS THE HAMMER TO BEAT OTHERS DOWN.

Oh, you want more than one single thread? How about this: Drupal ousts Larry Garfield for his sex life. Adria Richards and "Donglegate" and how she got a father of four fired for something that she both interpreted incorrectly and was guilty of doing publicly at the same event herself. Rust is full of SJW/PC nonsense. You can find these examples all over the place. Adopting these codes of conduct is like drawing a mustache on your project's upper lip with feces.

This same SJW death spiral is going on in the Drupal community right now. There's a bunch of self-appointed busybody BDSM police in the organization plus both a board and a committee charged with enforcing the Drupal Code of Conduct being filled with identity politics social justice baizuo types. I'll paste a recent Reddit post and a follow-up post that explains where I'm going with this:

Well, the fact that they adopted the TODO Group's "Open Code of Conduct" screams a lot about the "values" under their cranial hoods. Have a peek at the history of this document. My favorite part is this one:

Our open source community prioritizes marginalized people’s safety over privileged people’s comfort. We will not act on complaints regarding:

‘Reverse’ -isms, including ‘reverse racism,’ ‘reverse sexism,’ and ‘cisphobia’
Reasonable communication of boundaries, such as “leave me alone,” “go away,” or “I’m not discussing this with you”
Refusal to explain or debate social justice concepts
Communicating in a ‘tone’ you don’t find congenial
Criticizing racist, sexist, cissexist, or otherwise oppressive behavior or assumptions


Granted, that has since been removed from the text due to the sour taste it left in the mouths of many, but the choice of this particular Code of Conduct implicates the choosers as endorsing such one-sided beliefs. I'm not even REMOTELY surprised that this kind of anti-inclusive ousting has occurred; in fact, I'd say it was only a matter of time.

The OCOC is at http://todogroup.org/opencodeofconduct/ and https://www.drupal.org/dcoc says "Edited by webchick, danigrrl, kattekrab, tvn." The Community Working Group is charged with enforcement and https://www.drupal.org/governance/community-working-group says they are: George DeMet (Chair), Adam Hill, Michael Anello, Emma Karayiannis, Jordana Fung, Rachel Lawson.

What a shock, all the Drupal Code of Conduct authors are women. Remember when GitHub was about to adopt the TODO Group's Open Code of Conduct that enforces a whole lot of identity politics bullshit? Well, while the most blatantly hateful anti-white anti-male anti-normie items have been cleaned out of it, Drupal's using the current version of the same godforsaken thing. We've seen this formula play out time and time again with SJW infections. Drupal is an SJW infested project with SJWs running everything. Is it any surprise that development is tertiary to micro-aggressive oppression olympics squabbling and Tumblr feminist grade virtue signalling competitions?

No. No it's not. "Social justice" is antithetical to actual work. It is a cancer. Drupal needs some serious anti-feminazi chemo.

While we're remembering "retarded" hurtful word shit, let's also revisit the time GitHub blew away a project for using the word "retard." The GitHub code of conduct drama shitstorm is eye-opening reading while we're looking back at things.

I believe in the iDubbbz position on hurtful words and slurs: either all of it is okay or none of it is.

For a while we've seen attempts like this in the open source world. Want to muscle your way into an OSS project, despite lacking the talent or skill (or willingness) to contribute anything other than drama, identity politics, and an insatiable urge control others (or remove them if they don't fall in line)?

Makes sense that they would like even more to impose a Code of Conduct on life, starting when you're a kid.
