Exactly my experience with Archwiki and Wikipedia. I've tried to contribute with minor edits and corrections; I get non-stop pushback on the most un-controversial edits of things like punctuation or adding cross-links. I just walked away after a few attempts to satisfy whomever reverts the edits. What's the point of adding the stress of dealing with these people to one's life when there is utterly no personal benefit?
