I don't understand that attitude. If you simply pushed the code to a github repo with a note that you won't be providing any support and disable the issues page, why would you feel any burden?

I did exactly that with a Heroku buildpack. They featured me in their official registry anyway. Shortly afterwards, I started receiving insults via my github commit email from people who were Heroku customers and furious that my (free + OSS + unsupported) buildpack didn't work like they wanted to. They paid for Heroku support and mistook my OSS for a Heroku product, so they felt like they are rightfully entitled to me providing support.

Half-kidding: sounds like a sales opportunity. "I'm not Heroku but I might be willing to help if you give me your company plus x". Only if the stars align in so far as the request is not insulting, you actually do happen to look for money and the requester would be willing to pay (never happens because even if "the company wanted" your contact would be in no position to decide) you'd name an adequate price. But yeah, those stars certainly won't align. The only benefit you can get from receiving those mails is a tiny glimpse into who might want to use what you made.

> got me booted from several platforms

This bothers me. Can I get some more detail and drama?

> Today, I don't have a place for that kind of thing

If you want to share your work with close friends, you could use say, self-hosted Gitea or GitLab.

> more detail and drama?

I'm really not certain myself wtf happened. Maybe I just fell victim to my own paranoia. Maybe quoting MLK and supporting an Amish school really are that controversial. Maybe it was the "naked lizards" video game mod.

Since i mentioned it that way, I'll also mention that I've been tempted to resurrect a site for some reason or none simply because up until last year, I had had some online presence continuously since 1994. I keep deciding not to, because I don't want to deal with the inevitable drama of offending someone by existing.

The only host I'd be happy with anymore would be someone leasing me bandwidth and an IP on a common carrier contract; and I'll stack up Pis or scavenged laptops and host horse porn if i feel like it.

I think I know what you mean.

I was honestly surprised that someone got offended enough to figure out my email and send me insults just because I was lazy and kept the git branches for my network library named "master" and "slave". Plus the main server supports various blacklist command line parameters for IPs, login handles, and ports.

Now the entire project is off Github and on a private Gitea.

> the inevitable drama of offending someone by existing

I offend, therefore I am!

> and host horse porn i[f] i feel like it.

Sounds like a Tor hidden service might work better for you, for the sole reason that it's harder to shut down.

> Maybe quoting MLK and supporting an Amish school really are that controversial

Depends on the context.
