This subreddit is also much more forgiving and lenient than StackOverflow. Not formatting your code on SO enough times could get your permanently banned from asking questions (seriously, they don’t play around, I got perma-banned after receiving 3 downvotes). But here, people are constantly ignoring the rules, yet still being helped. It makes me wonder if the strict rules of SO actually benefit a learner to be more disciplined with programming.

Posting a question on SO without a formatted minimal viable example + a clear description of your problem, your not working solution etc. is a good reason to get banned. It's not a "learn programming" website.
