I have found, and continue to find, the DEV community to be extremely friendly. So much so, that I’m preferring to spend increasing amounts of time here vs other developer sites.
Additionally, describing the folks who run and build the site as inexperienced or newbies is remarkable - several of the team have significant experience across the tech landscape, and the site and community itself is several years old. I think it’s a rude and inappropriate way to describe the team, but that’s my opinion.
I’m curious what your thoughts are on “best practices” for community sites, moderation, etc. I personally do not like the terminology “best practice”, as it implies a single way of doing things that is “best”, I often think of “good practices” instead, because there can be more of a range of choices. Communities are complicated (I know this, I’ve worked in Open Source communities, foundations and projects for over 20 years), and I’ve yet to see a “perfect” way to organise and manage online conversations - or face to face conversations!
