I think this is an unfair comment.

This is like complaining about an agriculturist being awarded money for a novel agricultural technique they developed, but they aren't saving the penguins in the Antarctic...

It is absolutely fair! Farms have to cull cows, to reduce methane emissions, to save penguins!

F-Droid does not exist in vacuum, their actions send message!

As a queer person I don't even know what I'd want from a CoC like that. It feels like I'd be giving up the freedom I love from F-Droid so I could better police other apps (which is something I don't want or need).

Considering how absolutely useless CoCs are in other software I use, I'm pretty happy with where F-Droid is today.

I'm not convinced they ever really had the effect people hoped. More often instead I see it used not as a way to show that people are welcome, but as a false flag used to justify arbitrary enforcement of subjective terminology... which they already had the power to do anyways.
