All of the comments seem to be quite vehemently against the proposals, so it seems that stack overflow is quite happy with its somewhat toxic nature disguised as organisation :/

Being against this specific proposal does not mean people are happy with the current state of things. Is it possible that this particular proposal is bad and does not address the issues? I mean, the first item of grievance is complaining about how StackOverflow curates content by removing duplicate questions and problems that cannot be reproduced, with vague complains that this is newbie-friendly. Is this a reasonable complaint? I don't think so.
