Ramon, I'm not talking about the Covenant code in particular. Is not the only code out there and as I say the important issue is to provide safe spaces via explicit or implicit rules. Each community decides which is the best way to be welcomed and respectful and how this is clear to its members and outsiders.
I don't think that technology and politics are so far away as usually depicted, particularly in the Global North, as both deal with power dynamics but technology embeds it in infrastructure. But seems that politics is kind of a tainted word there and just bring it opens a Pandora box.
