Extremely high standards for code of conduct? [closed]

This is just a hypothetical idea I’d like to share.

I sometimes feel the bar has been set very low in how people conduct themselves on forums, since we are used to places like Reddit, and compared to that, Stack Exchange can seem very structured and regulated. That said, as a user of SE, I often did find a degree of interpersonal conflict to be a very regular part of the user experience there.

I was just casually looking at this GitHub repo: https://github.com/heartcombo/devise?tab=coc-ov-file

This Code of Conduct is adapted from the Contributor Covenant, version 1.2.0, available at http://contributor-covenant.org/version/1/2/0/

I guess I just wanted to share the idea that one could, as a culture, have more of an explicit zero tolerance attitude for rudeness, I guess. I feel like the above code of conduct is pretty unequivocal that certain kinds of conduct are “unacceptable”. Just a thought.
