As it’s widely known, more often than not “criticism” of open source software quickly devolves into hate and toxicity. Helpful criticism is great but be careful with defending the “criticism culture” around foss, it’s often angry unhappy people that want it all for free on a golden platter, and yesterday.

Sure, hate and toxicity themselves should be called out. But that's not what's happening here, and not what GP comment was referring to. It doesn't make any sense to throw out the baby of legitimate criticism with the bathwater of toxicity.

That does not matter, nothing is above criticism.

It does matter. If people get hate for doing work on open source they will stop doing work on open source. Yes you can be critical of everything, but the hate that some people spew toward certain open projects is not only nauseating but actively damaging to the community.
