I recently shared an open source project I created in e/selfhosted and received a lot of negative comments about my project and my persona.

I don’t get why people are so negative, I spent months writing code in my free time, I didn’t ask money or forced anyone to use my project. So why being so negative? And on top of that without neither reading the code ( I doubt one-two minutes is enough time to get an idea of how a code is like )

Does final users of a specific tool feel attacked if a new open sourced tool is the same category is created?

And going back to the title, what makes you go through the negativity and contribute to the open source world?
