May 25, 2023 at 15:49 comment added Josiah Yoder @starball I think dsz's main point is that "harm" is ill-defined. Of course words cause harm and can be transmitted over TCP/IP. But is there an alternative definition of harm between "murderous and injurious behaviors" and "anything that challenges a person's self-perception of their identity"?
May 21, 2023 at 14:57 comment added saxbophone "Under "bigotry and discrimination", the list of characteristics is phrased in a way that implies exhaustiveness. Why doesn't it include sex (the most glaring omission by far), national origin, or economic background?" —totally agree. I have seen other codes of conduct use categories including "sex, gender identity, socioeconomic status, race, religion, nationality", etc... Of course, some of those terms can overlap more or less depending on the exact definition, but feels better to be exhaustive, no? (so long as it does not lead to extreme levels of redundancy)
