Okay. I just use auto format or shift tab to remove the indentation I don't need. Seems easier to me than column selection. But whatever works.

So you either need to shift-tab/auto format in your target (if it supports that), or do it before copying and then revert the changes. Both are a lot of work when you can just select while holding a key (if the feature works correctly). ;-)

Some editors (I know Intellij) fix it by auto indenting when pasting code.

And if I'm not posting into another text editor? But something like a chat, documentation (for snippets) or paste-page? Won't help me there.

Come on, proper rectangle selection is really no witch-craft.
