A lack of a code of conduct is an excellent opportunity for bullying and abuse by people who happen to lack good intentions, mutual respect and human decency.

A code of conduct never changes bad actors, and they will always find ways to circumvent or even use them, for instance by creating Kangaroo courts. Erroneous conduct of well intentioned people can usually be resolved, but bad actors cannot.

Let's see. Not having a code of conduct means you don't have a way to escalate a response to a bad actor up to the point of throwing them out.

Usually not true; every stable social structure evolves mechanisms for that. Conversely CoCs allow power grabs by sociopathic parasites and ideologues, because they replace social standing and merit with a legalistic machinery that can put group resources against the group itself

I think that if you are strongly enthralled by an ideology, then its absence looks like an opposing ideology to you.

I am sure that it must look that way to you. I really do not know what to do about it.

An ideology is to society like axioms are to mathematics. If you lack any, you operate in the void. Your deductions are meaningless.
