I think Rust has grown way beyond the point where it makes sense to characterize the community as a whole. I imagine you could get entirely different experiences depending upon whether you were engaging with people in some HN thread, or Reddit, or IRC, or Discord,...and even day by day or thread by thread. Where specifically did you encounter the toxicity?
