Hello, I just read Gnome Code of Conduct, which can be found here: https://wiki.gnome.org/Foundation/CodeOfConduct Can anyone explain in which line racism is allowed? Also, what communism has to do with anything? Aren't you getting a bit too paranoid? Why communist and not fascism? And how the decisions made in a software-related community can escalate to concentration camps and police brutality? How on Earth do you connect these activities? *Can we please get back to common sense?*
