Nah it's not what I meant, I think I just wasn't clear (I am no native speaker, might be that or it just came out wrong) I didn't mean to say you yourself have some ill will toward newcomers, you even spoke about your bad experience as one and how you don't want this to happend to others. I was generalising about the ambiant toxicity you can sometimes find on most platforms and that's what tires me more than simply noobs enjoying their discoveries or seeking a helping hand, sometimes even people with good intent get condescending for no reason and I find it dumb, but I wasn't aiming at you at all. May be you took it this way because I abruptly came back to you in almost the same sentence.

I only meant that I get the impression people sometimes (on diverse sites, not just lemmy) get burned over noobs, and start noticing them more often than they sould, starting to wish for more peace, or more intersting stuff on their feeds and what not. Wich, as understandable as it may be, is not very welcoming (and not too hard to overcome). Or may be it's just that sometimes people have weird takes about newcomers and I just mix it all up and get the wrong overall impression, cannot say.

But going back to you, you are mentionning "flood of those two types of posts, and other content just drowns in them" and that's what I find odd (if you are talking about only Linux@lemmy.ml specifically), because yeah there are a good number of them...but not so many (at least to me) that you can't just ignore them without paying no mind to it. And again, may be it just doesn't show up us much on my end for some strange reason, but I checked to be sure, and still can't find that much to agree. Even the "the lack of organisation" is a strange way to put it since there are broad topics to have on just Linux and posts usually talk about diverse stuff (security, softwares, news, distros, experiences, unixporn...) besides the fact some recurring stuff always come back since people have their favourites topics (favourite distros, dick contest between this and that, "what do you prefer", and on and on).

And in the end, some noobs will just end up talking or asking about stuff everywhere they can, down to the worst places up to the best, only because they simply will go to places they find or know. And I don't think isolating them, or making another space for them will ever change that, and it might just send the wrong message. To me, unless there is a truly dire need for another noob space to give them better help (wich I really can't assess here), I think the best way to deal with it and stay welcoming is by just paying no mind when you don't feel like it and just go to them when you want to. Not implying that's your case but, I know some people don't know when to let go, but we all can't be patient or interested in things all the time, may be that's why I think people get burned sometimes. Reminds me that joke about the best way to get help on linux : you simply say «Linux is so bad I can't do this» anywhere and Linux people won't let it slide and give you the best help right away.
