This is what they have: be friendly and patient, be welcoming, be considerate, be respectful, be careful in the words that you choose and be kind to others, when we disagree, try to understand why. I see nothing wrong with that... continued... Be careful in the words that you choose and be kind to others. Do not insult or put down other participants. Harassment and other exclusionary behavior arenĒt acceptable. This includes, but is not limited to: Violent threats or language directed against another person. Discriminatory jokes and language. Posting sexually explicit or violent material. Posting (or threatening to post) other peopleĒs personally identifying information ("doxing"). Personal insults, especially those using racist or sexist terms. Unwelcome sexual attention. Advocating for, or encouraging, any of the above behavior. I can live with the above, _however_, the proof of the pudding is in the eating. If conservatives and libertarians have beenkicked out of the project, while homos and trans people stay after rubbing peoples faces in their weirdness, then it is apparent that the above is only directed against some isms and not others. So I've seen worse than Freebsd, but it does have a slight bias against pro-trans people at the expense of conservative although it is not that pronouced I'd say. In terms of other BSDs I think the most hardcore tech-focused as in "shut up and code" might be OpenBSD. I doubt they've had many trans-battles there due to their benevolent dictator for life setup. Too bad they have a crappy filesystems, otherwise Openbsd could be a nice project to join as well. --8323328-737375878-1720175198=:17764--
