Just throwing it out there that “we” absolutely do not “need to go on the offense” against Codes of Conduct nor main branches.

“We” should show by example that it’s possible to exist in a culture that can hold disagreement without turning into a poop throwing match.

Someone has a feeling towards branch naming? You, the maintainer, decides whether you want to change anything. Listen, then make a decision. Neither decision makes anyone a fascist or communist or anime avatar.

A project uses a term you don’t like? You, the user, can suggest using a different term. Be civil and provide short, to the point arguments. It is now up to the maintainer what they will do with this request. Neither decision makes anyone a fascist or communist or demon.

Attacking or ridiculing the other party for their decision or request does not make you look cool. “Going on the offense” does not make you look cool. Staying calm and collected and true to yourself looks cool.
