A free, decentralised and open network with an enforced code of conduct? I cannot reconcile these 2 concepts.



I'm guessing the code of conduct primarily concerns the software development process?


Doesn't seem so:

> If a community member engages in .... up to and including expulsion from all Funkwhale spaces


The maintainers have no power over federated instances. The code of conduct is pertaining to the repository and official Funkwhale communities (such as the Matrix chat and discussion boards).


IIRC you can't just kick out an instance from a federation by switching a button?
