> Rust draws on Coraline Ada's Code of Conduct ("Contributor Covenant")

I have no idea what you're talking about. Rust's code of conduct is older than the Contributor Covenant, and we've modified it very, very slightly since its inception.

(I also disagree with the rest of your post as well, but that's offtopic and I don't particularly care to discuss it.)

Hmm. I may have assumed you used it because it's referenced in your Code of Conduct as source material. Googling it more gives me multiple sources:

1. Node.JS (semi-fitting of my post) and Contributor Covenant (target of my post) per current site.

2. Citizen Code of Conduct per Reddit. Looks just like Contributor with same provision that people must follow the politically-dominant group's rules on every forum or be blocked. It claims to be derived from Django Code of Conduct (partly-political/partly-good) and a feminism wiki. The latter mentions things like "Verbal comments that reinforce social structures of domination" with long list following to be subjectively evaluated according to their politics. Just like my post again.

So, even if your people did one before Contributor Covenant, it's similar to that pushed by the same kinds of people shoving politics down everyone's throat with some of the same content. My post still stands with the correction that you borrowed from different leftist, control-freak politicians initially with minimal modification from the one I mentioned. Each of the source are very clear about their political agenda and intended censorship.

I had actually forgotten about that citation at the bottom; it was adding two words: "gender identity."
Ahh. That got tested on another forum I was on. Painful memory that was a good example of how a huge chunk of the U.S. and many computing pioneers would possibly be censored based on their speech alone.
