If you talk shit instead of genuinely having trouble with something, any hobby group will not take it lightly. There's honestly trying and coming up empty, and then there's the "I don't have to put so much effort on other platform X" kind of response that indicates you are just trying to trash talk.

My general rule is that i shouldn't spend more energy than the person asking for help because there are people that call for help not because they are unable to solve the thing on their own, but because they rather someone else did everything for them.

Such a simple concept. It's surprising the number of people who don't recognize this, then invariably go on to talk about how "toxic" the community was to them for "just asking a question."
