Community Rules
Was reading this Post and I certainly agree with the general differences like open source and non-profit that differentiate Codidact.
But the Community vs Repo point leaves some questions. Sure each Site/Community here is ultimately the masters of their own destiny, but where are new comers supposed to learn the different social and community rules established in each site? Does one site allow duplicates and another vehemently close them? What if the current cooking site community just decides they won't talk about meat now. Are we to set up a new one that can?
Some of these examples are rough; but communities aren't under a general vision so the only vision left will be the people at the helm of those communities. That will ultimately mean change and volatility of purpose.

We should hope that different communities have different moderation standards. On SE it was a huge problem that users started applying the standards from one community onto others. The majority of new users came from SO - a site with fairly strict moderation and zero tolerance against subjective topics. Then from SO they "spilled over" into the other communities and started applying the same strict moderation policies there. But by their nature, those other communities often discussed much more subjective and fuzzy topics than a site focused on practical engineering.
I think Codidact as whole should only state the general Terms of Service/Code of Conduct, but otherwise leave it to each site to decide how they should moderate content.
