Or, possibly, "we do not condone". In any case, have you thought about reaching out to GitLab? We should definitely raise this as a point with them — but, again: this is *our* hosting, and we decide *our* rules. I don't want to dismiss this at all, but the context here is important. We are using their software, but we have our own servers and our own code of conduct — as lightweight as it is. >> On the other hand: we're self-hosting our own GitLab instance, so we >> get to be as inclusive as we can, without necessarily depending on >> some other project to make the rules. > > It may backlash GNOME either way, unfortunately. I don't think so — any more that the fact that we don't get backlash when the FSF does something dumb, or when Linus insults people — and yet we still release our software under a FSF license, and run our software on Linux.
