chilling effects are a real thing. the CoC is intended to chill certain types of speech (which is probably a good thing) but it's a blunt instrument and I'm far too Hobbesian in my worldview to trust any organization to be able to utilize this blunt instrument forever.

I think the telos of an open source project is pretty different than the telos of a Benedictine community but yeah I’m in favor

tbh 'this worked for many many centuries, we're going to use it as inspiration' is a great starting point for a lot of things. I'm just not on board with copying it wholesale.

yeah, the lesson of Chesterton's Fence is "think hard about changing things and understand why the thing you're changing developed the way it did," not "never change anything ever"

In that spirit, what *is* the point of the explicit Christian language in that CoC? Why not make it all secular? I don't think the author was trying to be mean and make non-Christians uncomfortable, but that's what happened. What benefit did they think was worth that risk?

owning the libs, probably

apparently the dude is actually very sincerely christian but I think there's at least an element of trolling
-
Would a sincere Christian use their own faith for irony/satire?
-
I don't think it's either, I think it's an attempt at a very minor kind of martyrdom
