It's amazing to see how many nice open source projects have been pressured into adopting this.

Like SQLite? Well played if you ask me.. https://www.sqlite.org/codeofconduct.html

Thanks for pointing me to that, I wasn't aware. Very well played indeed. I think I'll proactively start including this in my own projects.

However what I meant was the projects on this list: https://www.contributor-covenant.org/adopters

I would include that in my project if I had one and I am an atheist. I would convert just so I can play this card.

One of the best things is you really don't even have to convert to anything.

And I'm not the only seeing a pattern...

"It's only fair to mention that the person who started the initial controversy by merit of whining about twitter things on the issue tracker is also the owner of the code of conduct that is being pull requested by @tarcieri in #947

One could claim personal bias. In fact, going through past projects that adopted this CoC, this seems to be a recurring trend, where people start a fake controversy, then propose the CoC and guilt trip it into being adopted." [0]
