Where is the "activism behavior"? All I see in the thread is other people whining because they disagree with the Gleam community's values.

Agreed. Treat people well seemed to be the Gleam desire.

The counterarguments from the other party (seemed like one person with multiple accounts to me) were about their disbelief in trans people and the idea behind the Black Lives Matter movement (coupling it with some organization that copied the name and stole some donations)

Couldn't find it either, and my experience with the gleam community is that they're very welcoming and positive people.

I am on that thread as well. The issue with these "codes of conduct" isn't that they exist, it's that their purveyors force the "code" upon every participant regardless of forum.

If you don't support their special interests in completely unrelated venues, you are persona non grata and will either fall in line or be excommunicated. It's a sophisticated form of control via identity politics.
