I don't accept the person who wrote the quoted tweet at the top as being part of any community I'm in - he's precisely one of those bigots

He wouldn't be allowed to attend any event that I help organise. And would be expelled from any space online that I help moderate.

Yes, although those professions require trust and carry responsibility and have state-level formal consensus.

Whereas open science is just a vague label people can apply, so the only power I have is to use my moderation powers where I have them.

A voluntary formal body with such rules could be established though - that might start to create trust in the label when certified.
