Be the change you want to see in the world

I am positive AMA

I see some positivity. It's like reddit, you have to work to stay away from the communities that are wont to devolve into a feedback loop of negativity

Sure, look at my history, I'm a real sunshine here

I tend to stick to meme subs and subs for things I like, so it's not too hard to find positivity.

I'm having a good time 💕

I'm positive that someone is.

I see lots of positivity! There's a lot of news which is mostly bad of course, but there's also memes and cats and casual chats, and fun nerdy stuff.

No.

There's a lot of assholes everywhere. The block button is your friend :)

I try, I try.

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.

Do I come off as positive 🥺

Yeah, they're all stealing electrons. /joke

...if you want a serious answer, define "to be positive" in an objective way. Otherwise we'll all end talking about our personal experiences, that may or may not match.

Even if not, you can be!

I find the question as phrased is ambiguous. Are you asking if there are people using Lemmy to express positive emotion in general or to express positivity about Lemmy?

I can comment generally that I do feel like positivity is often in short supply in social media spaces, and when one does encounter it, it may be of the toxic variety.

Consider your Finders Bias.

I find that the circlejerk jerks much harder on Lemmy than it does on reddit.

You look nice today.

Actively try to be!

Honestly. I try to use Lemmy for positive stuff as much as possible. Hobby stuff, jokes and as few political comments as possible.

I use reddit to vent frustration and bitch and moan.

Yes, I just finished the Dungeon of Lost Souls in Might and Magic V: Darkside of Xeen™. Hardly anything more positive than that.

No, I'm in a perpetual state of uncertainty.

Me!

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.

Why did you make this post? Lol
