I just wanted to react to this: indeed, our private lives are our own and let’s keep fortran-lang related spaces focused on Fortran or related to Fortran and its community, exactly as you said.
That is already the case, this Discourse as well as other repositories under fortran-lang are governed by a Code of Conduct, you can find a link to it from here. In particular, quoting from it:
Examples of behavior that contributes to creating a positive environment include:
- Using welcoming and inclusive language
- Being respectful of differing viewpoints and experiences
…Examples of unacceptable behavior by participants include:
- Trolling, insulting/derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks
- Public or private harassment
…
Which is very clear that, e.g., politics is off topic. And that we should try as much as we can to be welcoming and inclusive to everyone, no matter your personal life or opinions.
