I agree, it's a bit weird. So is putting a lot of effort into a project that nobody is asking for and you'll give it away for free. There are many people in my life that are neurodivergent and some situations cost more than they are worth. I have had several projects I thought were good candidates for open source, but the idea of dealing with the "anonymous a-hole" has been a show-stopper for me. I appreciate that the authors of this project seem to have similar concerns, but have overcome them by creating a social contract. I believe that it's entire goal is to turn people away whose interactions may be too much for the maintainers. Good.
If reading those rules and abiding by them is too much for you, then just turn around and walk away. That's the intention and goal. They're doing you a favor, letting you know that your brand of weird is not compatible with their brand of weird. They don't have to make space for everyone in their little project, and there might not be space for you there, and that's OK.

Well, it’s weird enough that I wouldn’t use the project unless it’s the only thing available (but there are other SSGs) or if an employer paid me for it (I don’t really care then if the project is stable, that’s my employers problem).

I don’t have a problem with the rules themselves, to be clear. My problem is the presentation. It’s also not a big problem to me, I’ll just use something else and move on. That’s fine.
