It seems like the secular equivalent of freaking out because you see someone wearing a turban and you think that foreshadows the immediate imposition of sharia law. That's valid if there's a bunch of them in pickups w/ AK's (analogy left as exercise for reader), but usually not

so why not a CoC that’s like 16 centuries old then? that’s lindy af, as the kids say

because religious discrimination is generally frowned on, even if you let people know that you'll be ignoring their transgressions for the moment

as someone very scared by slippery slopes I think this is a legit general point, regardless of whether it applies to the sqlite devs in particular

I mean, if he sincerely wanted to not alienate everyone who's not a christian he could've just trimmed it to only include the secular rules. They were included for a reason.

suppose there was a highly motivated and organized group of _right wing_ activists entering FOSS orgs and pressuring the orgs to adopt CoCs that subtly promoted their tribal value system. Would you feel the same way about it?
-
I think you make a good point, but there's also an argument that the opposite happens with pushing against CoCs like, both sides weaponize the FL/OSS project in question regardless of whether they actually contribute to it (I am definitely guilty of this!)
-
right, pushing for and pushing against, it's the same culture war polarization we see everywhere. culture war armistice is the solution. CoCs are a weapon in the culture war. Time to put the weapons down.
-
expect to see more tradcon, rightwing encoded CoCs introduced in the future. SQLite is a relatively light-hearted example of it. There will be nastier ones coming.

tbh one reason to have some CoC is that it makes introducing a more activist / radical CoC harder (and can be optimized specifically to this end) so "adopting a copyleft-style CoC" may be a better strategy than adopting no-CoC
