I try, but it’s sometimes difficult not to get caught up in the perpetual pessimism. I’ve caught myself responding with more defeatism before, recognized what I was doing, and changed my response. Lemmings are generally more aware as people, so they’re naturally going to be more cynical. But, we have a lot of extremists too, and then kids who see the extremist edge lord stuff, think it’s cool, and parrot it on every post, regardless of relevancy. I’ve also had positive messages deleted by mods who don’t like that they contradict their philosophy. Anyways, let’s all make an effort to be more positive at least a few times per day.
I’m 50/50 in all walks of social media. I don’t talk/reply much, but I also don’t give people too much trouble. If an asshole wants to throw down, maybe I’ll respond out of spite to tell them off.
Opinion-based anything, instance/subreddit/community, tends to be very polarizing to be in. It’s always dog-eat-dog in those realms with people fighting to try and be the righteous one, disregarding the concept that opinions were never about being right or wrong.
This is kind of a strange question… it’s like you got up on your soapbox and said nothing.
There’s plenty of positivity here. In fact, unless you recently cleaned it up, your post history is filled with examples of positive comments and posts that also got positive responses.
