Fri 14:51:19 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] ""
Fri 14:51:22 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] Former Debian Project Leader, G. Branden Robinson, has officially resigned from the Debian project.
Fri 14:51:22 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] This follows actions taken, by the Debian Community Team, to silence Robinson's communications and critiques of the project.
Fri 14:51:22 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] Robinson's request for an appeal of those Debian Community Team actions was rejected by Andreas Tille, the current Debian Project Leader, saying, "The Community Team has acted within its mandate, and I
Fri 14:51:22 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] support its actions."
Fri 14:51:23 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] After this rejection, Robinson resigned from the project entirely, stating, "I feel that the Community Team has acted toward me with hostility and a lack of collegiality unbecoming to delegates of the Debian Project Leader.""
Fri 14:54:25 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] Very important to cover, this is the Debian Project shooting even its former leaders, which is insane

Fri 14:58:11 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] something to the effect of,
Fri 14:58:18 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] if you don't agree on politics
Fri 14:58:23 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] then you must be banned
Fri 14:58:28 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] and they pushed on and on with it
Fri 14:58:34 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] CoC is one sort of manifestation
Fri 14:58:37 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] it divides communities
Fri 14:58:42 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] that's what happens in practice
Fri 14:58:44 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] when we said no
Fri 14:58:50 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] they started committing crimes against me
Fri 14:58:53 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] when that didn't work
Fri 14:59:05 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] they would commit crimes against my family
Fri 14:59:07 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] not justtt against riianne
Fri 14:59:17 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] those people are both insane and very destructive
Fri 14:59:28 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] and it's not too clear how to best deal with them
Fri 14:59:40 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] without incurring costs and years of endless nuisnace

Fri 15:00:03 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ CoC is more of a tool for removing anyone they don't like from the project for whatever reason
Fri 15:00:11 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] yes
Fri 15:00:15 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] but not related to the project
Fri 15:00:18 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] it can also extend to

Fri 15:01:19 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] CoC is Talibanism
Fri 15:01:27 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] it's a case of losers who can code
Fri 15:01:34 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] and then try to leverage the little copde they give
Fri 15:01:43 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] to impose their own politics on other people
Fri 15:02:05 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] usually by pretending those other people make them sad or oppress them or their group etc.
Fri 15:02:11 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] to me, the funnyy thing is
Fri 15:02:18 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] the peopole who promote the CoC
Fri 15:02:25 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] turn out to be the most distateful people
