I really like this aspect of the #CodeOfConduct from the #LGBT in Tech slack community:
"[we] prioritizes marginalized people’s safety over privileged people’s comfort."
"The administrators will not act on complaints regarding: [...]
Criticizing racist, sexist, cissexist, or otherwise oppressive behavior or assumptions"
http://lgbtq.technology/coc.html
This is exactly what you need from a #CoC
When people talk about "work-life balance" they really seem mostly to be talking about "work-family time" balance, per heteronormative reproductive futurist standards of what kind of life you're expected to have outside of your job. Its supposed to mean "your spouse and kids".
what about those of us who's "life" outside of "work" is well...more work? Our own work, self-directed, probably creative or community-oriented in nature, and never likely to be successful according to capitalism?
@starbreaker The LGBT in Tech slack community *does* address this directly in a great way. Perhaps that's a model to follow.
"LGBTQ in Technology prioritizes marginalized people’s safety over privileged people’s comfort. The administrators will not act on complaints regarding: [...]
Criticizing racist, sexist, cissexist, or otherwise oppressive behavior or assumptions"
@starbreaker I've been reading some CoCs and I don't see anything about this.
Some refer to "professionalism", which is hella loaded anyway.
Makes me think the goal is to make some FLOSS communities acceptable to corporates.
@Juni for "professional" as in "suitable for working in an office", nearly everyone, of any & non genders, and of almost any dress is suitable.
But people just wanna make everyone look like corporatites.
@starbreaker That's what I think too.
I think many #CodeOfConduct don't make this distinction, and that worries me, since people do tone police margalised people when they are angry. Do you know of #CoC that actually explicitly allow this?
@Juni the thing is, doesn't "professional", as it's often used, require lots of traditional gendered clothing. Can a man wearing make up be fit the requirement of "professional attire"? Likewise a woman without make up.
I think "professional" is often used to maintain traditional sexist dress/behaviour.
A #CodeOfConduct sometimes expects politeness & respectfullness from people. Does that apply to reactions to speech that violates that CoC?
eg X politely, calmly says a sexist thing. Y tells them to "f**k off". X has broken CoC. Has Y broken CoC? 🤔
Thoughts? Comments?

@Quixoticgeek I use Twidere. It does twitter and mastodon in the same app.
RT @TechnicallyRon@twitter.com: In all fairness #Brits probably don't do #Thanksgiving because if we had to take a day off for the anniversary of us fucking over a #native people and ruining their country we'd never have to go to work.

@webmind oh totally. It doesn't *automatically* disqualify someone, but they better be really, really strong in other areas.
Just looking at changeset count is too simplistic.
I do not believe that a low number of edits automatically makes someone bad for a position of responsibility in #OpenStreetMap, or #OSMF.
There *are* many ways to contribute.
@coldwarwho me too. I just wasn't really able to put my finger on it until I thought about it.
@vfrmedia I would be curious if you have any links to when people did that. 🙂
@claire primitivism is fascism in slow motion. the rejection of technology is equivalent to calling for the genocide of the people who need it to survive. a world without pharmaceuticals, without mobility devices, without exogenous hormones and insulin, without the agricultural and industrial infrastructure to support the human population and free us from the tyranny of subsistence foraging, is pure barbarism.
There is a lot of problems with requiring "professional manner" in a code of conduct. "professionalism" has been used against many marginalised groups, like camp men, women who don't wear heels, and black people with dreadlocks.
@vfrmedia There's often aerial imagery which can help. if you know "It's on the corner of that building" you can map it from aerial. etc.
