Same, I moderated https://blender.stackexchange.com for seven years from inception sinking many many hours into flushing out the community and amassing a proper resource for users. The closest thing to a community back then ~2013 was IRC and blenderartists which was really for showcase but in the later years kept getting distracted with people being offended, tiptoeing on eggshells around certain members of the community/mod team and just random crap all around not related to QA or improving the community. Got exhausted, left and haven't looked back.

One of my funniest stories from my time there is how I once closed a question as off-topic (it was) and several years later googled to find one result which was the same question flagged by yours truly (it was still off-topic but the irony wasn't lost).
