Code of conduct #2

Open TheChymera opened 3 years ago

TheChymera commented 3 years ago

We need a code of conduct. Without one people with whose politics we don't agree might contribute. This is dangerous as it would hurt the minorities which elected us as their representatives.

If we fail to do this, collaborative work will decline. We seek in this project to create an inclusive community where coders from a variety of backgrounds are able to work together. Several of us are uncomfortable collaborating and/or interacting on a platform without a code of conduct, both because it is antithetical towards our core identities and we are uneasy to potentially link our reputations with potential non-inclusive bigots through co-authorship.

Therefore we need to make sure we can exclude such people from this inclusive space.

@bnainar I am very grateful that you are raising awareness and starting important conversations across the community. While creating an infrastructure for excluding non-inclusive people from individual projects is a good first step, we need to keep in mind our responsibility towards vulnerable people everywhere. You are truly an inspiration for spreading such requests, and making sure that brave and stunning community leaders across projects can prevent mobbing by acting as a unified group against individuals who endanger our values.
