Using project resources to disseminate conspiracy theories (like Bill Gates having evil vaccination plans or whatever), using symbolism like triple parentheses, ... is directly harmful to the project. People, including non-members, read that and get a certain impression of the project. I'm personally not happy with being involved in a project which would tolerate this, but some are content with such content and run projects that way (you can, for example, get involved in Debian-based distributions that are much more "inclusive" there). So people who think not allowing antivaxx and other conspiracy theories or racism or whatever on project channels is thought policing have alternatives. Ansgar >
