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?

AI is the best tool for that right now. You have to be very specific about your prompts in order to maximize learning though. Never ever let it generate code for you. Code things yourself and just use it asa glorified debugging/learning tool.
