Come to think of it, bullshit like Code of Conduct (pronounced as "cock", not "sea oh sea"), Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (pronounced "die", not "dee ai ee") are really designed to destroy the FLOSS community as a whole.
To be fair, good developers are oftentimes rather assholes.
In both cases they're trying to force those developers to walk on egg shells.
What instead happens is that all the good developers leave, maybe some who are cucked will stay a little longer, but it's a matter of time before either they leave or get cancelled.
Meanwhile, whoever has taken over the projects will invite total nitwits into those projects who have no idea how to code, and only join for bragging reasons, and eventually the projects just collapse.
This is why I'm so against Codes of Conduct (or Code of Conducts, or whatever the plural form is, no need to tell me, I don't care).
Some people simply ignore CoCs and use it anyway, but I think it's better to outright boycot projects that have a CoC, and just make your own instead.
Before you know it, the project gets abandoned, and you'll be left helpless.

I don't even care about that, because I would never, ever, work on any project that is open to the public. I've read enough mailing lists to know that I do not like most people working in software. Also, any software that is made by too many people is shitty software. If too much work from too many people goes into something, that something is probably fundamentally broken and will never be good.
Good software is software that is made at most a small team and then finished, and never updated again because it's perfect. Any software that gets perpetually reinvented is made by retards. Good example being GTK, though really, it could be most software, because we are in a free software dark age, almost everything is worse than it used to be, because again, all the good stuff got thrown out and it was all remade, by morons.

Should we go full on Stallman and remake all the software we use, but this time gate-keep mentally ill (normalfags and sociopaths) away?
A good start would be a terminal emulator.

Perhaps a better example would have been ,,go full on Terry"...

Terry is a good example, because the things that he made are finished. He finished TempleOS. He didn't abandon it in the middle after fixing most problems and then make a TempleOS 2, and hand it over to some organization or corporation that fucked it all up. I think the Suckless people are also a good example, though they are almost as anti-design as it gets. It's the same usual Unix copium of pretending that graphics and UI are bad to not have to actually do it and do it well. As has been has been done since the 80s.
Anyway, I don't think any of this will actually be solved. I just want to find good versions of good programs and stick with them, and actually, I think there is enough stuff out there that is good enough for me. But if you are willing to make your own tools, then it makes sense to do it. And you can base them on things that already exist, doesn't have to be completely from scratch.

What if we thought as many as we can schizophrenics how to program either in CL or Forth, or Smalltalk and supplied them with the equipment needed to do so. I wonder what wonders would they create, especially due to their individualistic stance.
