It is, however, unfortunate that a single statement on the Gleam homepage generates this exact conversation every time Gleam trends somewhere.
It's your project, and your community, of course, and I fully respect that. However it doesn't seem good that this statement creates so much friction and controversy for Gleam over and over.
After all, none of the statement's topics would be "on-topic" for any of the Gleam community hangouts. For instance, it would be equally off-topic for someone to discuss supporting or hating Nazis.
Perhaps moving the statement to a formal Code of Conduct page would be a "have cake and eat it too" type thing.
The Gleam community is wonderful, and you've done an incredible job building it. But I don't suspect the homepage statement had anything to do with that.
It only happens on hacker news. Elsewhere it is not mentioned or it is praised.
Gleam does have a formal code of conduct.
