Comment on Why are some Linux community so toxic?
nondescripthandle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 week agoIdk about that. Every time I’m on an Amateur Radio board even the newest most repeated question is often answerd earnestly by multiple people often with enthusiasm and quality. If a community actually recognizes and accepts that they want to onboard new people, they don’t treat new people like burdens.

I see that as essentially having a community norm against gatekeeping. It’s not a feature of every community and it needs to be intentionally maintained. Gatekeeping in that light is a kind of Hobbesian state of nature behaviour that is being deliberately policed.
