Hella biased opinion: the Contributor Covenant is not a good CoC and people should stop using it.

why: because it doesn't provide a healthy framework for enforcement. It does not provide staged enforcement. It treats all violations as potentially the worst and in practice just makes people paranoid they'll end up on the wrong side of it.

My experience managing communities is that Codes of Conduct like these put people who are anxious about them on the defensive, and _this itself makes enforcement difficult_. I believe a good CoC has to have, and even LEAD, with a healthy enforcement process.

I say my opinion is biased because I adapted a CoC years ago that leads with an enforcement process, and I've had IMMENSE success with it in communities, vs when I was using a Contributor Covenant-like CoC: https://github.com/WeAllJS/weallbehave/blob/latest/CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md …
