I’m searching for programming Q&A sites like Stack Overflow where I can ask “how-to” or practical coding questions without worrying about moderators closing my posts. Ideally, a community that’s beginner-friendly and encourages learning rather than strictly enforcing rules. Any recommendations?

The problem is that many sites that don't have good moderation about duplicate and off topic posts lose the worthwhile talent that actually answers questions, because they don't want to answer the same thing day after day.

It's a tough balance.
