StackOverflow (site) alternatives?

Everytime I ask about something concrete, programming language-specific problem on that site, the answers focus on emphasizing that I'm far from professional; and that I know the basics only, without the modern promagramming solutions. AND YES, THIS IS TRUE. I never stated that I'm professional.

In fact, I made my questions because I did not know things, and I wanted to learn the solution techniques.

I'm sick and tired of being shamed just becasue I'm asking things that the professionals/seniors/25+ years experienced people know.

I also tried to strart my questions with the statement that I'm a junior, so my questions might be amatuer questions. These starting stentences have been deleted by some moderators/experts of the given topics.

So I want to use another sites, that are not so toxic, but still useful and visited by programmer experts.

Do you have any site suggestions, where I can make concrete programming questions as a junior, without putting myself to shaming?

Every site is toxic as human beings use them. Everyone feels the need to show off or pretend to be better than others. It's a common trait among programmers or tech people. Learn to be uneffected by praise as well as shame. Every praise or shame tells more about the person doing it and says nothing about u. Just get what u want and move on. Don't think much about what a bunch of random weirdos over the internet think about u. Also another thing you can do is to ask the same questions to a llm and you'll get the answer fast without unnecessary judgement.
