>Anecdotally, this seems to be a stronger thing in Node.js community than others.

I have seen people speculate that this is due to the lower barrier of entry in the JS community (as a whole), although I'm not certain how true this would be.

there's a pretty low barrier to entry in the PHP world, and I don't think we've seen anywhere near the same level of scrutiny.

Well I think PHP has fallen out of favor for Node among the "I wanna program" crowd. Of course this whole "social justice" shit-show is a more recent thing so all the heat is in that community, leaving PHP out of the festivities.

Well lately, everything seems to be focused on JS, no? There's node.js, react, angular, $JAVASCRIPT_FRAMEWORK_OF_THE_DAY, ... So if JS is most of what you hear about, and if the community does actually have low entry standards, it seems logical that it'd be the community that would attract the most issues.

I had a similar experience with the Rust board, so (anecdotally) it might not be related to the low barrier of entry.

If you don't mind me asking, what experience did you have?
