A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

A lot of toxic egos on photo forums? (alien.top)

Has anyone else noticed that most photography forums outside of Reddit have some very opinionated, bitter arsch-holes as members? I cannot find a single forum outside of Reddit that offers positive / constructive criticism, just people who are toxic beyond belief...

The MagMod Community on Facebook is largely pretty nice and inspirational. But even there, I managed to run into several people who suddenly decided they needed to critique and offer (bad) advice on my photos despite it being a primary rule not to offer unsolicited advice. Anytime I call people out for it, they lose their minds and cuss me out (then get banned). It's a good time /s But for the most part people are really nice there because it's active and the MagMod team moderates it.
