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.

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...

offers positive / constructive criticism

Online critique is a scarce resource, it takes time/effort/expertise to do critique, and the people qualified to do that usually have better ways to spend their time.

I'm not sure how your interactions have gone, but you can improve the odds of getting useful critique https://alessandrachaves.com/2022/06/17/asking-for-a-critique-on-your-photos-helpful-tips/
