I'd be inclined to suggest not to let the 1% annoying people spoil it for everyone else if you can help it.

Most people know to see through and recognize these annoying people and their toxic comments and know to appreciate the good work.

Sharing your work as open source is still an amazing thing to do despite the annoying vocal minority and many people appreciate it even if they don't say much.

Of course, your own sanity and health is the most important thing.

Thanks for having shared your work as open source until now and good luck for the future, whatever path you end up choosing.

Also: write your open source stuff for yourself. Share it but don't wait for validation. That's bonus but your motivation should come from inside. IMHO.
