Personally I'd rather have a choice of who to follow based on whose opinions align better with my own, instead of everyone being forced to go with the majority... in other words I respect people's freedom to have opinions I do not like, which I think this type of "community power" is in some ways the opposite of that.
NixOS is FOSS. People can freely fork it. Your choice is not being taken away.
I'm not sure how voting makes it so we can't respect each other's opinions.
Typically this is done by adopting a CoC and then adding things to it that you don't like. But I have seen more hostile methods too.
... Yes. You will have to behave like a civilized adult. If your opinion is that you shouldn't have to, then you are correct that I do not respect that opinion.
I think the whole problem here is that someone's definition of "civilized adult" is different from others. My definition doesn't try to suppress people's opinions, even if I don't like them.
