There's no responsibility at all. There's also full freedom to complain however you wish. If you do that on someone's free work with which they try to help others, it just doesn't look very good on you. That's all.
Why not? Over the years I've had several open source projects. I've had many suggestions and complaints. If someone wanted to help and contribute I'd be happy, and help them if I could, but never have I expected anything. On the contrary I've been happy for complaints that made sense, because it gave me pointers and places to improve my software. So why do you think it doesn't look good?
Oh, that kind is good. Constructive feedback is very valuable. But the fediverse is full of people dropping derogatory sarcastic comments or even reacting in rage, that aren't helpful in the slightest. I should've made that clearer in my first comment.
