codes of conduct are essential. but self-appointed committees need to be rethought or the nixos situation will just keep happening.

it's very weird to me that so many free software projects have somehow allowed themselves to install a self-appointed judge dredd. of *course* that's going to be full of bias and inevitably weaponized.

a lot of people make a *really* big deal out of code of conduct training, as if a weekend seminar (or, god forbid, a 4-hour workshop) were somehow tantamount to a law degree. it isn't. when shit gets serious, real lawyers and police get involved.

lawyers and police have real accountability.

how on earth is cocc/mod behaviour less transparent than full-blown court proceedings in cases where the effects are devastating to someone's career or mental well-being?

can't contaminate the hardwood
