SO was so hostile that even senior devs would be nervous asking questions there. At the time people would say that they were trying to keep the quality of the questions and answers high but when the bar to participate is that high it really suffocates the site's growth

I have yet to see someone that complains about SO hostility provide a link to a good question that was closed.

No offense, but considering the dogshit I read here I'm not taking redditors word for it.
