interesting fact: ~everyone who learned that SolveSpace's development is not as fast as it could be due to my health -and- responded has, as their only concern, the future of the project. "oh noes mah updates. if i give you one dollar it'll fix everything right"
worthless leeches

This is my experience with open source. I spend most of my time and energy working on GrapheneOS. It's a massive project and I desperately need help with development. I spend a lot of my time working on public documentation and making it easier to contribute but people don't.
Every day, I spend at least an hour defending myself and GrapheneOS from people spreading attacks on my character and the project. There are endless attacks / attempts to spread misinformation publicly and privately. I feel I need to counter it to have any hope of contributions.

I talk about how my work on the project and how I'm being treated are severely impacting my health and no one seems to care. They'll just give uninformed advice and criticism, always expecting that the solution is that I should do even more work and take on more responsibilities.
