Google 'thinks' highly of GitHub. Our CoC for GitLab the project is also hosted on GitLab.com https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/blob/master/CONTRIBU... Our canonical source is GitLab.com https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/tree/master#canonica...

I am aware of the mechanics of Google. In the context of the obvious stab of the parent to GitHub introducing a CoC and recommending to support GitLab was funny though, especially when throwing those terms in the ring.

Do you have any plans to revise that in order to preempt the sorts of problems that users are having with Github? I would imagine that most of the new users are expecting an environment there which isn't r-------.

That CoC is for GitLab the project. Not for GitLab.com. Right now we handle GitLab.com issues on a case by case basis. So far it was only Gamergate but I'm sure more will come up in the future. Gamergate opted to run their own GitLab instance http://gitgud.io/users/sign_in

Just want to say thank you for creating the free, open tools needed to host even more controversial stuff like this. Even if you're afraid to host it yourself, you've truly created a good for the world at large.

Perhaps some transparency behind such decisions when they happen again would help maintain a relationship of good faith between GitLab and its users.

I'm not sure if we really need to give them further exposure?

That wasn't my intention.

I wasn't implying, just noting my feelings. Thanks for being engaged and direct in discussions, btw.
