add code of conduct #129

following recent developments

probably worth some discussion and opinions from core contributors

i basically entirely agree with the document, i don't have any amendments to make

will give it a few days for comment but will adopt if nothing else is said

I'm 100% for this, i have done a once over and agree with everything

I've read the text, the only real issue is that this of course isn't written by a lawyer. So it might not be very watertight as far as rules go.

However I do have one issue with the first guideline:

This is not a professional space. Individuality is not only welcome, but encouraged. Professionalism asks marginalized individuals to censor themselves, and perform their identity in an inauthentic, unchallenging manner, which caters solely to those in power (namely rich, white, cisgender, heterosexual men). Seeking professionalism is antithetical to the goal of equity, and thus, these guidelines reject it.

I get why you'd use the words "professional space" here, referring to the typically toxic business environments. But keep in mind that one can also simply act in a professional manner, i.e. in line with their profession, usually boiling down to being responsible, ensuring quality and being respectful for your peers and colleagues. Or at least that's how I see it, but feel free to tell me if I'm wrong. But I do not view "suppressing individuality" as professional behavior. Rather the opposite.

I'm mostly concerned here with wording it correctly. Because from the get go it almost sounds to me like you're trying to say "we're all unprofessional here" which sounds a bit odd.

The rest of the guidelines are good as they are I think. I presume there's nothing else that should be added to it?

@floatingghost gave you edit access to the branch; feel free to make any changes on your own

updated in line with comments

i think that's a lot cleaner

thoughts?

I have no complaint about the document as it is. Glad seeing base expectations being made here.

i'm fine with either version, lgtm

This version looks good to me!

Though the footer should probably be revised from

This document was created by ~keith as part of punks default repository template,

To something more like

This document is derived from the one created by ...

looks fine to me!

     - There will be queers, punks, femboys, drag queens, furries, hackers, kinksters, and all sorts of other people here. And the project will reflect that. If you don't like this, consider looking for Free Software projects [elsewhere](https://loose-files.keithhacks.cyou/img/trashcan.jpg).
