Most niche communities are full of people that desperately want people to participate in their hobby. Linux despite being a relative underdog is not actually a niche community. Even so, the majority of people are kind and accommodating, but it only takes 1 out of 10 interactions being negative for someone to label a community as toxic, even if that interaction is basically "use the existing resources in the sidebar"
