You know the phrase I've heard more in the #Fediverse than ANYWHERE else?

"just my 2 cents"

I think this sums up the culture here pretty well. People just LOVE to tell you how you've got it wrong. This ESPECIALLY applies to posts that aren't even TRYING to be opinionated. There is just this vocal contingent (sometimes german? always male) that is hell bent on making sure there isn't "Someone wrong on the internet"

See if you can help yourself and not critique ;-) I certainly don't want it

always male

I find it hard to believe people keep saying "just my two cents" and then telling you their gender...

Sounds like you're making assumptions. And as mad as you are about this, you're the one being corrected all the time, and it's hurting your feelings.

Being wrong on the internet isn't the end of the world, it just means you learned something.

If you get in that mindset, you'll stop getting upset at people who took a minute to type a comment to help you understand something.
