Maybe I just missed it in this ranty wall of text but I can’t seem to find an actual concrete complaint about what we supposedly need to unfuck in our codes of conduct.
I’m by no means a big fan of the concept of a code of conduct (it’s basically patronising for functioning adults by spelling out things that should be obvious; and I’ve yet to see evidence that they are actually effective at combating bullying, tribalism and harassment). But by now they’ve simply become a signal in their own right, saying: this place cares about its community. And, in the end, I think that at worst they’re not actively harmful.
So: how are they harmful, and in what regard do they need “unfucking”?
