I built and maintain a github repo, that has some users, stars and forks.

Everything is free and the code is 100% open.

I’m thinking of making the repo private again as some people treat it like commercial software and are generally very rude. (While not having read the docs properly)

I know this is the loud 5%, while 95% are polite.

But at this point I’m really not in the mood to continue dealing with this. Very frustrating. I started this for fun but now it’s not fun anymore.

How do other maintainers handle this? Do you ignore it?

Edit: Thx for all the suggestions. This was/is helpful.
