From an issue: > I'd be open to re-merging if and when the problems plaguing Node.js are resolved. Problematic people removed; use of "policy" as an excuse ended; power structures reorganized to emphasize community over tech. So far though it seems like there's little desire to fix these problems from those with the power to do so.

emphasize community over tech ...speechless. client: Why is there only clear text and flashing ads on my screen? developer: Oh, yes - we implemented the new ayo libraries! client: This looks like shit. Give me my site back! developer: but, you don't understand ! The new libraries are great, they emphasize community over tech! client: [......] client: [calls her P.A.] Richard, go find me a new tech team.

The more I code, the more I appreciate projects and languages that are not based on a democratic committee and have a consistent unique single minded vision. I'd rather stick to a language/framework that aligns with my own preferences, than stick to one that tries to please to a large group of people. I feel this is the major problem with Javascript, Node, etc.

People using node.js and not wanting this kind of bullshit should go on github and open an issue to remove the CoC. I would back it up for sure.

Open a perfectly fine PR that fixes/accomplishes something but prefix PR comment with: "Hey guys," Sit back and watch as you're bombarded with threats and comments about being pro-rape, a straight white male and the like

I've faced this exact scenario a few months back when I asked some questions on Preact's Gitter. Pathetic. English is not even my first language, I swear I didn't know I'd be offending someone by saying "hey guys" :/

Node.js can, of course, merge in any changes of merit that this fork produces. Especially since the fork isn't for technical reasons they are unlikely to diverge in fundamental ways... Atleast until the fork is abandoned entirely for providing no value over node.js -- especially if they don't keep up with the upstream progress.

If we applied this CoC to Linux, Linus is probably long gone by now.

There was a CoC on Drupal and surprisingly it wasn't until a few months ago it became a serious issue. Sometimes people can put the smarm aside and be legitimately helpful.

Ever since SCSI I can't say that anyone will have success trying to encourage people to pronounce their project names in a certain way. Good luck to them though and anything that improves the node space is welcome in my book. Forks included.

Relevant wikipedia article: > Almost a full day was devoted to agreeing to name the standard "Small Computer System Interface", which Boucher intended to be pronounced "sexy", but ENDL's Dal Allan pronounced the new acronym as "scuzzy" and that stuck. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SCSI

Scuzzy has more character to it.

I'll never pronounce GIF as JIF though.
