[CoC] Proposed amendment: Ban on soliciting tech support for hate groups
Hello,

In accordance with CoC's amendment policy
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Code_of_Conduct/Amendments>. The committee
proposes an amendment on behalf of one of the community members to be added
in unacceptable behavior section
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Code_of_Conduct#Unacceptable_behavior>:

Soliciting help, support or technical assistance for websites whose
predominant activity or content is behaviour that explicitly and
significantly violates provisions of the code of conduct is forbidden in
Wikimedia technical spaces. For example, websites advocating violence or
hate speech are not welcome to ask for support on Wikimedia support forums.

This is similar to w:en:Wikipedia:No Nazis
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/en:Wikipedia:No%20Nazis>

This will be open for three months for community feedback in
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Topic:Xgg6dvg2athdb1h7 and if the community
reaches consensus and the committee won't oppose it, It will be added to
the policy.
Best
Amir (he/him),
On behalf of the CoC committee

The rub is always in who gets to decide what is "hate speech".
