Yes, some CoC's may be fodder for satire and criticism because they cross the line when it comes to being excessively dogmatic. However, these things exist because online communities have been beset by hordes of assholes for a very long time. Many people feel excluded or are dismissed just because some jerk manages to wield a measure of virtual power.
It would be a mistake to move in the reverse direction now and abandon CoC's. If they're not working, perhaps change them or try something else, but the problem needs to be addressed.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Dangerous not to make that more clear if true.
Isn't the whole point of good satire that it's not immediately evident whether it's a joke or not? Regardless, I don't see how this satire could be considered dangerous.
Watch the twitter mob forming outside the window!
Of course it is satirical but I think people forget that the CoC's that been gaining traction lately are themselves a response to a real problem.

This is a disgusting move and we need to make sure to react appropriately by not using sqlite and fossil and other software these people created.
This is a lovely piece of satire given the prevailing obsession with silly CoCs all around.

The SQLite folks are saying that code of conducts are irrelevant. Hence, they are saying that the problems solved by CoCs do not exists, or are not problems. This is a disgusting move and we need to make sure to react appropriately by not using sqlite and fossil and other software these people created.

Did they? It's a Code of Conduct for communal matters that was written some 1500 years ago. Given that the Benedictine order still exists, it may well be practiced to this day (not sure if they updated it. I wouldn't see a reason.)
Given that there's no larger community around sqlite in the GitHub sense (they usually don't even take patches), and https://twitter.com/drichardhipp claims that DRH is Christian, they could as well pick a CoC that matches the family operation that is driving sqlite.
The page is rather explicit about not having to adhere to the CoC to _use_ sqlite in any shape or form, and you don't get to _develop_ sqlite anyway, so...
