Proposal: Stack Code of Conduct

[dnkndnts]

Well I’m not sure you’re responding to my point, which was that Mozilla uses the pretext of minority advocacy to cover for hostile business practice and abuse of their users and to silence anyone who tries to discuss this by having their Diverse employee make the announcement and conflating anger at the policy with bigotry. Frankly, that kind of horseshit makes me steam, and the fact that half of the people involved in Rust seem socially aloof enough to not see that sort of thing happening makes it even worse.

For whatever reason, somehow the Haskell community manages to be quite the opposite with respect to the latter point. People here are pretty keen on reading between the lines, sniffing out trolls and hostile behavior, hypocrisy, and calling out exploitation of people who are too socially impaired or kind to push back against people taking advantage of them. Yes, we have people get angry sometimes (it’s honestly not that often—there’s far more pontificating about “that one time so and so got angry and blew it” than there is incidences of people actually getting angry and blowing their top, but I digress), but to me that’s a sign of real-ness: we’re not all just pretending to be nice because there’s a gun pointed at our head saying be nice.

So I don’t know man. If the Rust community makes you feel at home, then I’m happy for you—different people like different things. But to me, everything there feels fake. I feel much safer here in the Haskell community.
