Unfortunately, Stackoverflow is still the quickest way to get good answers.

Expect to be shamed, downvoted, asked "why you would do that in the first place", even if your question is well formed and relevant. Your question may be closed, or marked as duplicate, or put "on hold".

Still, almost always, someone nice eventually helps.

Their "policy" to help with civility didn't work at all. Oh, and complaining about this on meta stack overflow will also get you shamed, downvoted, told that you can't take criticism.

I've honestly had a great experience on stackoverflow throughout my life.

Maybe it's because I put time and effort into my questions, but everyone has been nice and informative (at worst they link to a similar question)

You're low-key suggesting he hasn't put time and effort in to his questions. I've anecdotally also seen extremely toxic behavior on SO.

Ah - my bad. Not trying to suggest anything, just sharing my experience.
