    I’m meeting up with a friend and their SO for a little hiking and brunch at a local breakfast joint. Picking up the vision pro today for work so that’s exciting!

    I think it’s easy to be negative if a person doesn’t consider the human reading their anonymous posts, people feel empowered to take out their problems from life in general on random faceless internet strangers.

      Sounds cool! Hope you’ll enjoy it!

      Yeah, definitely. Hopefully in communities like this we can avoid that.

        Not sure it’s possible to avoid entirely, as the community here grows we get more of all types, it’s hard to have a truly only-positive community when moderation is voluntary and the masses have full reign to submit literally anything.

        Do you think a technology solution would help? Sentiment analysis on posts and gently redirect people to other communities instead of outright blocking them?

        Maybe the only real solution is personal resilience and recognizing that we don’t need to feel negative feelings just because we received a negative communication

          Very true, hopefully by the time we get there we’ll have more mods tools to allow to identify bots and trolls.

          I’m not too sure, I’m always dubious about technology solutions for psychological issues.

          Yes, I guess so, also why I made this post. I feel better already.
