[Diversity-talk] Yes, this CoC can look at behaviour on twitter | Re: Diversity 2020 Article

Hi all!

I am your friendly admin of this mailing list, which has a CoC (link in 
  footer of all emails).

For the record, the CoC for this list applies to regular social media, 
like Twitter. If you make racist (etc.) comments on public forums like 
that, then you can be banned from this list. If you see someone doing 
that, please feel free to email the mods at 
diversity-talk-owner at openstreetmap.org

There are several different styles of CoCs. They aren't all the same. 
This CoC does not ban general incivility, you can swear on twitter (I 
do). If you rudely, or civilly, promote sexism (etc), then you may be 
removed from this list. Different spaces may have different CoCs.

Here are some quotes from our CoC:

Correct. We do not have control over what someone does on Twitter/etc.
But we have control over who is a member of this mailing list.

As always, I am willing to have a good faith conversation in private 
with any OSMer about CoCs & “diversity” if they don't like what they 
hear. Maybe I can change your mind. Maybe you can change my mind. Maybe 
this topic is misunderstood.
