Twitter protip: you're supposed to reply to yourself if you want your threads to thread properly. The CoC very specifically *does* describe the things you're not supposed to do, along with some examples of things that are positive.

The former are listed as "unacceptable behavior" and are a clear no-no. The latter are just listed as "contributing to creating a positive experience", which is not a mandate to do those things every time or else be kicked out.

Nowhere in the CoC does it say you need to have a certain ideology. It says you're not allowed to use your ideology to harass others with a different ideology.

For example, I have fairly strong opinions about certain aspects of several mainstream religions, but I have no desire to harass people over their belief in them (nevermind in the context of an OSS project), and thus I have no issue with the CoC requirement to not do so.

Have *you* read it? It says "in public spaces **when an individual is representing the project or its community**" and further clarifies what that means, leaving the finer determination to the project maintainers (not a random person on the internet, as you seem to think).
