Even if they pay lip service compliance to the CoC and phrase their toxic hate "civilly" and "just are asking questions" (sealioning) or pretend to be just ignorant (such as pretending that they can't see the difference between celebrating Pride as support for threatened minorities vs celebrating religious holidays), some of them *do* show their true colors *outside* the community.
Have you *looked* at what the person so concerned about being banned here publishes on his "journals" for example?
They *absolutely* should be banned for their demonstrated behaviour and positioning outside the openSUSE project: active trans hate, misgendering, heck, calling for the boycott of this very project.
Even if they behave superficially "civilly" here, they mere presence and toleration makes the community less welcoming, less safe. I do not want to share the same community as them.
Don't fall for that tactic.
The Code of Conduct _explicitly_ says that the following may be within scope: "Social media conversations may be considered in-scope if the incident occurred under an openSUSE event hashtag, or when an official openSUSE account on social media is tagged, or within any other discussion about openSUSE. openSUSE reserves the right to take actions against behaviors that happen in any context, if they are deemed to be relevant to the openSUSE project and its participants." The recent social media articles which Lars references include tags/direct links and screenshots to openSUSE social media and these mailinglists. This, and the fact that the articles are clearly relevant to the openSUSE Project and its participants. Therefore I wholeheartedly agree with Lars' suggestion that they are considered with extreme relevance in any decisions being made regarding breaches of the Code of Conduct.
