Forum where veterans don't mock noobs

Actually... I am tired of this basically

Every forum I go, actually, the old users just attack new people for not knowing everything. I ask about docker networking, basically get "read the manual stupid" and kaomoji crying at home (´・ω・`). I ask about best VPS for small project, actually get "use search" even though results are from 2019 and provider dead now.

Actually I am not expecting hand-holding. Just basic respect. Is there actually forum where culture is helping people learn, not showing off how long you have account?

I found this place from search, actually looks maybe okay? But basically want to know before I invest time here. (´・ω・`)

Sorry for bad english, actually not native speaker

instant noodles, instant deploys

Route via old forum adds 164ms. Toxicity latency is not worth it.

This forum is closer to source. Less hops, less attitude. Your mileage may vary.

Perhaps we might accept that the experience of ronwit is unfortunately common, and let us not pretend otherwise. I have observed that many communities develop a certain hardness over time, and it is my belief that this stems from repeated questions rather than malice.

However, let us consider that each person was once new, and let us remember that the purpose of a forum is to share knowledge. I am sorry if my own posts have ever seemed unwelcoming. That was never my intention, and I shall endeavor to do better.

Perhaps this forum is different. I hope it is so.

Caramba, ronwit, I feel you nossa!

I don't know no forum where don't have nobody rude, kkkk. But here is not so bad, I think. The people help me when I don't understand nothing about firewall, was patient. Double negation not make me wrong, hehe.

You stay here, test the waters. If don't like, you go. But don't give up of ask, nossa. Everyone start somewhere, caramba!
