Hello,
I just read Gnome Code of Conduct, which can be found here: https://wiki.gnome.org/Foundation/CodeOfConduct
Can anyone explain in which line racism is allowed?
Also, what communism has to do with anything? Aren't you getting a bit too paranoid? Why communist and not fascism? And how the decisions made in a software-related community can escalate to concentration camps and police brutality? How on Earth do you connect these activities?
Can we please get back to common sense?
Kind regards,
Lailah

Have you seen Gnome's CoC? It literally allows racism. There was a bit
of an uproar about it, and Gnome foundation/developers members refused
to change it.
(Gnome and Fedora are very incestous projects, so yes, it is relevant)
Now that communism is the cool, hip ideology in town, Gnome/Fedora are
embracing it. Book burning is the next step, but one might argue the
deletion of discussion threads and blogs already *is* that step.

Silly Daniel, you aren't supposed to question the supreme leaders. You
have to fall in line and never question anything.
If you need help understanding, I recommend reading up on what's going
on in China right now. Concentration camps, book burning, police
brutality, people vanishing, etc...
