I have accounts on various Reddit alternatives and have also had accounts on now-defunct sites. However, none have exhibited the same level of negativity as Lemmy.

    It’s not pessimism, it’s criticism. The fact that you think hope/pessimism has anything to do with these issues would be extremely telling if you hadn’t already described yourself as a liberal.

      There is a point where persistent criticism of any and every action (even actions that align with stated goals like tackling the climate crisis) rises past the point of criticism to outright pessimism, negativity, or even the more recently coined “doomerism” term.

      Edit: Here’s are some examples:

      They’re really not hard to find.

        So you just want to turn your brain off and ignore valid criticisms to avoid “negativity”, got it.

        Edit: all your examples are about Biden 💀😂 newsflash, criticizing politicians is how we keep them accountable

          No I want to stop moaning that everything “isn’t enough” or “it will just be undone” and just take a win.

          People know there’s more to do, that doesn’t need put on every post anytime something actually gets done.
