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...

I think photography and music have a higher chance of attracting already insufferable people, not that it makes them that way. It's an 'easy' way for people to come off as creative and artistic, and you can walk around with a high-end camera as an accessory without any effort. That pollutes the pool of people who genuinely want to use photography as a tool to create art or do it professionally for work.
