HN has a form of a Code of Conduct (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html), and strong moderation to remove truly bad-faith comments. These two aspects are really important to the level of discourse here.

And while I would say HN is often times civil, I've definitely seen misogynistic or otherwise demeaning comments here.

HNs guidelines are totally OK and the moderators have proven ywar by year how reasonable they are even to us who don't always agree.

If CoC were like HN guidelines and enforced the same way I guess almost nobody worth listening to would care at all if every project had one.
