Partially as a follow-up for a `previous post <gh_>`__.
As we now know, the sole purpose of the Contributor Covenant is `silencing SJW's political enemies <sk_>`__.
Luckily Coraline admitted that CC is political so resisting it is also mere politics :D

.. TEASER_END

|cc is political|

So, a small bunch of thoughts what to do with this `crawling occupation`_ regarding events like
CCCoC and `this recent GitHub issue <gh_>`__

**Own projects**

* Mirror everything from GitHub somewhere else
* Do not start new projects on GitHub, use GitLab or Bitbucket
* Be proactive, adopt Code of Merit or any other meritocratic CoC on your own projects
* Reject CCCoC, at least try to have a neutral CoC, `like Ruby managed to negotiate <rcoc_>`__, for any project
  you have any weight in

**Other projects**

* Do not contribute your time, money and code to any project enforcing CCCoC or any other SJW CoC
