Add a Contributor Code of Conduct

[pauliesnug]

Description

Contributor codes of conduct are very important to all open source projects as to avoid discriminatory practices. I feel that Hyprland could really use a Code of Conduct that may also apply to other Hyprland-related communities. See: GitHub's guide and the Contributor Covenant.

@memchr If I may ask why you left a 👎 on the original issue? Many large projects use a COC.

No existing terms mandate any clarification, justification or additional elaboration on my part for

differing opinions, viewpoints, and experiences

Thank you.

Best Regards.

CoC only makes sense when you can uphold it, hyprland is not maintained by a large organization, so it would not be feasible to do it.
Also CoC is great when many people have a major role in the project, this is not the case here.

I feel that a COC could be easily enforced, seeing as we have a Hyprland discord server that is "moderated". I've noticed a lot of hate coming from this community to be honest and I feel that it could use a set of default rules.

how?

Referencing the Contributor Covenant, it helps protect all contributors and members of the community as well as creating a healthy environment. See:

We as members, contributors, and leaders pledge to make participation in our
community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body
size, visible or invisible disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender
identity and expression, level of experience, education, socio-economic status,
nationality, personal appearance, race, caste, color, religion, or sexual
identity and orientation.

We pledge to act and interact in ways that contribute to an open, welcoming,
diverse, inclusive, and healthy community.

I think this is pretty discriminatory towards people that prefer a close, hostile, homogeneous, exclusive, and unhealthy community.

First of all, why would I pledge to uphold any values? Seems like just inconveniencing myself.

as if text will fix that. I am not able to enforce that CoC, neither do I want to. I just write code. If I'd want to moderate, I'd spend 90% of the time reading kids arguing about bullshit instead of coding.

I think this is pretty discriminatory towards people that prefer a close, hostile, homogeneous, exclusive, and unhealthy community.

Nice one

Does it have to be Contributor Covenant?

If there is a need for such contract, I hereby express my intention to vote in favour of the Code of Conduct Ethics established by the SQLite project.

Who wants Hyprland to be an unhealthy community? That would just lead to the downfall of the code and the community.

SQLite's "code of ethics" goes against the entire idea of the Contributor Covenant. It's meant to discourage harassment and send a message to bad actors.

Also the entire idea of SQLite's code of ethics replacement was very very discriminatory towards LGBTQ+ people.

I think my comment here #3209 (comment) closes this issue.

If you don't know how to behave without a wall of text explaining how to behave online then you shouldn't be online.

While I agree with you, many people in this community don't seem to know how to behave and thus there have been many instances of harassment. See https://fosstodon.org/@TheEvilSkeleton/109587658504727925
