JoelR Posted October 30 Posted October 30 Angela Jin, former Head of Programs & Contributor Experience at Automattic, reflects on her departure from Automattic and the WordPress community, expressing concern over the recent changes to the WordPress Code of Conduct, which she believes can be weaponized against community members. https://angelasjin.com/2024/10/21/on-community-code-of-conducts/ Quote Community members weaponize a code of conduct when: They feel they’ve “won” their code of conduct report and publicly announce just enough detail to diminish other community members or to raise their credibility. They claim code of conduct violations intending to suppress opposing voices, even if the criticism is fair. Administers of the code of conduct weaponize it when: They inequitably apply the code of conduct, perhaps in reaction to specific situations or by issuing a more severe response only in particular situations. They adjust the code of conduct to benefit a particular group or individual. They adjust the code of conduct intending to restrict contrary but valid viewpoints or to suppress dissent. Quote
