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.

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

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

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

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

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