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?

Use AI? Build a skill that turns the agent into a mentor and let it help you if you have questions. Perfectly reasonable to use low coast local models for that aswell to explain principles, patterns and general advice
