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...

Photography is a beautiful mix of art and technical knowledge/ gear coming together. I don't care if I won every award in the world, I'd still never criticize/ critique someone's art from an internet post. It's too personal and there are a million reasons I probably don't understand the stuff I don't enjoy.

The technical on the other hand... that's easy to critique and can be helpful to everyone. If some reviewer scores a macro lens poorly for its performance wide open- it's a community service to point out they're an idiot.
