I would also like to point out that this should be scoped to just NixOS platforms. Expanding the scope to other platform is in contradiction to the Contributor Covenant which "we" based the CoC on:
Contributor Covenant specifically states that behavior, actions, and communications outside the scope of the project cannot be considered violations of the code of conduct, unless the person in question is representing the project in an official capacity.

"to provoke controversy" is vague due to inferring intent. This can too easily become a finger-pointing exercise of "who started the controversy" which is very difficult to mediate.
.... not sure how or if to replace it with anything else. The below edit does seem better.

This would be more consistent with the rest of the bullet points. Which lack further clarification.

This also seems to fall in line with the Contributor Covenant:
“Everything is politics”, but the code of conduct is not about an advance of progressive/left-wing politics. It’s about establishing a minimal level of civil and professional collaboration. Civil, non-discriminatory, and professional behavior should be a baseline and shared value held by people of all ideologies, regardless of political affiliation (with the obvious exception of hate groups).
From the discussion here: https://matrix.to/#/!VyoUhyWvlhSpFWWxHL:matrix.org/$R2hVwXBSQFUQPIbavNvrn7Kzez3VVZNJiN22fmyk0tw?via=nixos.org&via=matrix.org&via=katesiria.org
Let's just document it, and make it explicit for community.
