I deleted my account under my real name on S.O. within a few years after its founding because of the toxicity. I ended up in an argument with a rando that was a regular who had no idea what they were talking about, and realized it wasn't worth my time.
I created an anonymous account a year later, used it for a few one-off questions and answers and never bothered contributing again.
I don't even really use it for the "A" part of Q&A since most of the content seems pretty much out-of-date. It's rare to find a good answer for current programming problems, IMO.
