       "Codes of conduct are, in all likelihood, useless at best. A simple rule such as "treat each other well" can't hurt, but beyond that, the only path to fostering good communities is leading through example."quote found near the end of quoted post by @taylanRT: https://fedi.feministwiki.org/objects/87e5e42e-724c-4dc1-9314-583f83adf6ac

       @matthewIn hindsight, CoCs were always bound to be a disaster no matter how well-intentioned because there is a massive difference between a written list of rules and the bureaucracy to properly enforce said rules.What is clear to me is that the political use/misuse of these mechanisms was an inevitable outcome as these projects became more influential/important. What many of us seem to miss is the days when the Internet at least appeared to be separate from IRL status games.I'm not sure Pandora's box can be closed here, so I'm biased towards reform and transparency when it comes to these systems.@taylan
