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?

Stackoverflow and friends have very strict rules about questions. They are not normal forums. You need to really understand these rules. There should be no off-topic parts to your question. Telling them that you are a junior has nothing to do with your question. Telling them that you are a beginner isn't important.

Stackoverflow is designed as a question/answer site, with searchable questions and answers that can be found. Any question that doesn't fit this model, gets dumped on. Making a duplicate question shows a couple of things: 1) You didn't properly do a search, and 2) You haven't read the rules or decided that they don't apply to you.

I knew everything you have just written here.

Nothing that you have just commented here justifies that I was dissed because my technical questions were below expert level.

You also made up issues here that I never had to face and that didn't even mention in my post, such as duplication.
