@PurpleJillybeans thank you for saying this. I started with Linux in 1993, and I've seen this as one of the biggest limiters to adoption.

It's also why I stopped following the Linux tag here. It's sad because I've made a career out of Linux going back to 1999 when my work started offering managed Linux 25 years of hosting and enterprise experience.

Shitty behavior doesn't just drive off the new people. It's hard to engage with a community when it's toxic.
