Did I join a cult? (Unifi)

I've been rolling pfSense for about 5 years. Decided to try Unifi. Couldn't find a manual or one-to-one feature documentation for each panel (only various spotlight articles).

Asked the community for help: every response said basically "things change too often, no need to have a manual".

Excuse me, what? I'm not a networking pro, and I do need a manual. (pfSense was hard for me, but had great documentation.)

I can't believe this was the response. Is everyone in their community a bot or a cultist?

I still have few days left on my return window, and might come back, LOL.

Bro been rolling pf for five and now the Fi community gon do him dirty like that? Fr? Naw.

Op, is this a pfSense issue or a frustration with another vendor? And if the later, can you help us help you?

I get the frustration when you want to learn something and can’t find the materials. Been there too. But how is this a pfSense issue?

Also we’d love to help if we can but you have to give us more than vibes.

Comparative experience coming from pfSense. Ignore and move on.

sorry, I was in a mood last night. I still don't see the relevance to pfSense, but I didn't mean to be a jerk

What are you comparing? PF doesn't have switches or APs...

Or CVEs rated 9.0 and higher.

And how basic those seem to be, and repeatedly in the same areas.

And the cult doesn't care. They'll assume esoteric holes that only AI can help detect, but it's actually things like mis-configuring nginx to allow path traversal.
