Venkatesh Rao Retweeted NumFOCUS
Looks like they walked it back as a procedural error, but the damage is done. Personally, I am onboard with the *objectives* of CoCs, but skeptical of them as a *mechanism*. They’re just too vulnerable to abuse and incompetence (latter appears to be the case here)https://twitter.com/NumFOCUS/status/1322250131480170497 …

People should use words like “incompetence” or “apathy” or “we’re stupid” in apologies like this. If you deny malice, you must accept stupidity. Otherwise it’s a get-out-of-jail-free card for unaccountable bureaucrats who were just spectators of miraculous errors without errants.

Hanlon’s apology: either admit malice, or admit stupidity, or leave.

This is one of the secondary reasons I suggested winding down refactor camp in 2019 if we couldn’t find a way to decentralize/virtualize it for bureaucratic abuse resistance (weirdly Covid-friendly call as well).

While we had no problems in the years we ran it, the creeping expectations of CoC burdens etc made it increasingly taxing to run. I’m glad we quit on a high note without any serious issues in the 7-year run. It likely won’t be resurrected (though not for this reason).

In the
@yak_collective experiment we’re trying to make decentralized structure and 1:1 trust do almost all the heavy lift work of ensuring a safe environment. There are no CoC compliance bureaucrat roles. The CoC is mostly “don’t make us make a rule for this.”2 replies 0 retweets 12 likesShow this thread -
2x2: attacker org vs target org. Both ranging from centralized to decentralized. I think right-wing malice manifests like nerve gas in the subway (centralized attack on decentralized target), while wokewashed malice is more like a nuclear attack. Centralized on centralized.

Yeah I’d say so. We might be in the middle of a fresh sample this time next week.
