No, and this is exactly the problem. There's a difference between telling the truth civilly and doing so as an a-hole. It's amazing people struggle so much to distinguish the two.
Can't say my experience matches that. I only ever really posted on the fitness board, /fit/, but it's honestly probably the most positive and evidence focused fitness community I've ever experienced.
BB.net is almost legendary for how brutally unwelcoming it is. The 10th planet forums see both a lot of hostility on the topic of practical combat and street fights, and has a huge contingent of borderline schizoid conspiracy theorists because papa Eddie never met a lizard man he didn't believe in. Reddit fitness and Instagram fitness seem to be primarily dedicated to the goal of self aggrandizement and self promotion, and they don't feel like a real place for conversation.

I think that's the main problem with 4chan, the whole ethos is built around being hostile under a veneer of 'brutal honesty.'
The immaturity of such behaviour wears thin quickly after the first few laughs, unless you like the company of a-holes (can't think of a better term).
We are in such times that telling the truth is *hostile*.
We have govt, companies, celebrities, teachers all so used to lying that when someone talks truth it "cracks" the social norm.
We even say that someone is "too naive" when they are honest about their opinions.
If you want to pursue real talk and truth you must be ready to some harsh exchanges.
