Thank you so much, rhymes! 🤗

I agree with your point! The community around a project matters so much. I didn't put that in the post actually because I have never experienced unwelcoming maintainers (although I've heard about these situations before). I've been fortunate about the contributions I made to Open Source, which were to projects where people were welcoming. And for example the community I'm at, Systers Open Source, the community is well managed, welcoming and they take the code of conduct seriously. As a maintainer I try to make the project and environment around it welcoming. In the end, we can all contribute to make Open Source world welcoming for anybody.
