finally released their much improved Code of Conduct.

freebsd.org/internal/code-of-c

I'm very happy to see this. Assholes are actively seeking out orgs and events without solid CoCs.

@mwlucas oh wow this is one of the best-written CoCs I've ever seen, too. I'll have to remember the Geek Feminism Wiki template for future use!

@mwlucas the assholes were the very reason I left #freebsd and went back to linux (i know, no shortage of assholes there either, but I knew linux better and therefore didn't have to interact with them as much). Glad to see the community is trying to get better

@balrogboogie It's easy to find the assholes, sadly. One clue is, who's objecting to a Code of Conduct?

@mwlucas Isn't it a shame that our world has come to this?

@mindnmotion It is. But we have to deal with the facts on the ground, not the world we want.

@mwlucas I find it unfortunate actually, that you have to read a document delineating what is deemed acceptable social behaviour by a group, just to contribute a patch.

@badosu You don't have to read that to submit a patch.

If you can reliably not be a jerk, you don't have to read it at all.
