FreeBSD has announced a new LLVM-derived code of conduct.
According to a 2018 survey "35% were dissatisfied with the code of conduct adopted in 2018, 34% were neutral, and 30% were satisfied." So, they held another survey at the start start of June:
Which code of conduct should FreeBSD adopt?
An LLVM-derived code of conduct:
https://github.com/freebsd/core.10-public-docs/blob/master/CoC/llvm-based.mdA Go-Derived code of conduct:
https://github.com/freebsd/core.10-public-docs/blob/master/CoC/golang-based.mdRetain the current code of conduct:
https://web.archive.org/web/20200108075747/https://www.freebsd.org/internal/code-of-conduct.htmlRESULTS
- 4% favoured keeping the current code of conduct
- 33% favoured the Go-derived code of conduct
- 63% favoured the LLVM-derived code of conduct.
Thus, the Core Team, following the preference of a majority of active
FreeBSD developers, adopted the LLVM-derived code of conduct.

Actually, the main points [github.com] seem more like something your mother should (but apparently didn't -- bad on her) have taught you:
I didn't realize that being "friendly and patient" or any of those others were "hard Left" positions.
Or are you referencing stuff that isn't, in fact, in the CoC [github.com]? If so, you're either ignorant or being deliberately disingenuous.

This [archive.org] is the crap they had. The current version is rolling back most of the shit they puked out initially without having the balls to admit that this entire code of conduct stuff is complete nonsense that only exists because of virtue signaling and the fear of being seen as 'bad'.
There's a major problem with any avenue that drives a motivation to virtue signal. When people virtue signal they always want to push the envelope of unacceptability because it emphasizes their own righteousness. Historically religions were the obvious example. Christianity was a derivative of Judaism. And one way they chose to push the edge of virtue signaling was celibacy. Christian priests were so devout and devoted that they cast aside even sex. Of course, like with all virtue signaling, it's mostly bullshit. Behind the scenes the priests were of course getting off like everybody else to the extremes of modern times where diddling kids became a trend. What virtue! And the trend continues with the numerous modern 'secular religions'.
Virtue signaling is not a virtue, it's a fucking stain on this world. If you want to be a good person, be a good person. When somebody is trying to flaunt their virtue, or even worse impose it on others, they're likely playing the exact same role we've had with the ultra homophobic politicians who were deep throating more sausages on the weekends than vegans do when they think nobody's looking.

The point is, the more shit you shovel into the gears of society, the faster it grinds to a halt.
Take note that when it does, all those nice things you now expect to be given you for "being good", will only be available in exchange for something tangible. If at all.

Er...are you sure about this? It's the Catholic priests who aren't allowed to marry; I assure you that there are plenty of Protestant pastors who are. There was a running joke in the denomination that I grew up in that the pastors couldn't wait until they graduated from seminary school before popping out their third or fourth kid already.
Or was this one of those dumb things that Paul said "well, I personally do this" in a letter and then everybody took it way too seriously for a couple hundred years
