Absolutely. In my experience I’ve felt more pressure to merge in closed source than open source since the bully is those above you in a hierarchy with business interests who are also paying your bills.
One of the takeaways Imo is to consider bullies as potential security threats especially when they’re pushing to merge code. And for both developers and non-developers alike, to try to foster a culture of respect and avoid entitlement in git issues. Call it out when you see it and don’t dogpile.
Community guidelines in a readme would be a good start. Also, educating those opening new git issues since I often see entitled and vitriolic demands from non-devs who do not understand what FOSS is (although I understand that this isn’t the only bully archetype).
All reasonable points, however it’s worth it to donate to creatives and free software projects. Part of the enshittification of the web is due to creatives being dependant on ad revenue.
In all seriousness though, enjoy whatever outdoor activity you want. Just lose the rich person club and cities covered in golf courses without public parks.
