> forking is easy, sustaining is hard.

That is exactly the point. But it makes sense if you look at it from the other side. When you put in the effort to maintain a project, there have to be boundaries to the social interactions, and when those are reached, "just fork it" is a pressure valve to protect the ones who put in the effort to maintain projects.

Many people think they know how something should be done better, but as a community, we have to protect the ones who are not just talking, but actually maintaining.
