 @No-mq5lw the CoC isn't all of a sudden null because Linus is upset. It should apply equally to him as well.

@ErinLynagh nobody here is being disingenuous. You just disagree and are trying to discredit anyone who has different ideas than you. You're not smarter than everyone else here and your world view isn't fact. Nobody is arguing that the FS wasn't problematic. The video is discussing the weaponization of the CoC which is a pattern of behavior that the Linux Kernel team regularly partakes in and common trend within the open source space.

@redactado266 rules for thee but not for me. Just because you acknowledge the fact that he does not follow his own rules does not mean that he is free from criticism. If he intends to impose rules on others he should first follow them himself.

@redactado266 right because that's totally relevant to the conversation. Why are you defending him so much? You on his payroll or something?

@ShayneHartford it's both. Linus regularly violates the same CoC he uses as justification to ban individuals from contributing to the kernel.

 @BenjaminScherrey or they could just not comply with an order that doesn't apply to them.

The majority of backing for Linux is corporate. Get them to care and it'll be gone otherwise they don't care about us.

@Myname-l3h I'm fully aware that I cannot force Linus to do anything. He is still a hypocrite and deserves the criticism he receives. What is your point?

@rh906 immune from the rules not from the criticism.

@barfnelson5967 for a group that pushes equity like it's their religion they sure do struggle to implement it.

@ErinLynagh what does that have to do with anything anyone has said in this thread? You're totally off topic. You don't even mention what you're referring to and just mention "this." How is anyone supposed to understand what you're talking about about when you're referring to something someone else has said while also not being clear about the thing they were commenting on? Additionally, the claim that there are communist motivations behind this type of enforcement behavior within the Linux Kernel is not absurd. Linus is openly communist and associates with many others who are also openly communist. The selective enforcement of moralistic policies which in this case is the CoC is a textbook communist tactic. This tactic can be seen in use by Mao during the Cultural Revolution and by Stalin selectively enforced rules against his political enemies. The Linux team has openly stated they intend to purge undesirables from the kernel project and are shameless when they do so. One thing is certain, the Linux Kernel team has an "ends justify the means" attitude towards their enforcement actions and rarely hold themselves accountable to their own policies. When others mouth off it's a permanent ban but when Linus or other high ranking maintainers do it nothing substantive ever happens. In this specific instance we can see two parties violating the CoC one resulting in excommunication and the other resulting in no action taken. It's a total double standard. This is not uncommon in the open source space. Look at the Nixos moderation team and you'll see the same behavior. When this occurs it's always driven by far left ideologies.

@Myname-l3h never once did I say they couldn't I said they SHOULDNT.
