How can I find out the reason? Who do I ask? How do I find one to ask? I'm really curious.
Ideally, I'd like to have the ability to talk to the person that decided so. Their identity is not important.

Discussion
I hate code of conduct, it is not netiquette but arbitrary rules that usually are one side.
Anyways, my defense against it is: (and I still follow those crap rules).
I don't care about the sexuality, religion, country, race or how other people feel or believe because it HAS NOT RELATION WITH PROGRAMMING.
But I am a capitalist (and a professional), if you want to care, then pay. :-3
You can't please everybody, it is impossible.
Thank you!
I would expect something on the dev.to itself, but that's a start.
