(Against CoC-as-CCCP)
Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) was born free: anyone can join, anyone can fork, anyone can argue. Its strength is pluralism — different people, different ideas, clashing and combining to make better software.
We reject Codes of Conduct turned into tools of conformity or political policing. We stand for:
- Respect for people, critique of ideas.
- Space for disagreement, even strong dissent.
- No exclusion for beliefs, only for harassment or personal attacks.
- Transparency and fairness in moderation.
- Forking as the ultimate right when consensus fails.
This FOSS community will not silence you for thinking differently. It will only stop those who harass, exclude, or attack people instead of ideas.
Freedom first. Pluralism always. FOSS forever.
