This is a really well written post. That’s all I came here to say. /srs
The obligatory add-on to a comment that says “that’s all I came here to say”: this phenomenon can be seen in a great variety of communities and I believe that it speaks for not the characteristics of the FOSS community, but rather some detrimental socially constructed human tendency to feel superior by oppression.

I feel you. Interestingly, Linux communities, especially the Arch one, but also programming communities over at StackOverflow, can be pretty exclusionist and elitist, while, for instance, electrical engineering, electronics and other hardware oriented communities feel more inclusive and welcoming. Are there conclusions to be drawn here? Software vs hardware? 😆
