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.

Read it. The LLVM one is kind of an anti-SJW one they ninja'd past everyone. The very first rule is "Be friendly and patient." That should rule out everyone spazzing the fuck out over having a simple disagreement, as they're being neither.

I read it. It's not that long, and starts with the key ideas as bullet points:
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.
What I would understand from that is if any of those things offend you, don't bother contributing to FreeBSD.
If any of those things offend you, you're probably not going to be welcome anywhere though.

The impression I've always had is that CoC's are usually brought forth to deal with creeps like MikeeeUSA, who you don't want contributing, without having to argue with them. These trollish creeps then manipulate other trollish creeps and useful idiots into ranting about pink haired trannies trying to take away their rights.

Nah, they're not. It's perfectly simple to tell someone they're a dick and need to fuck off without any rules at all. CoCs are created so that the chicken-shit SJWs have something to point to so it sounds like their weaponized butthurt is reasonable instead of bat-shit insane.

Best CoC I've ever seen is exactly four words long:
Can't really think what else needs to be said beyond that.

Since that's Wheaton's Law, "Shut up Wesley".
