> Positivity is fine, but blind positivity is not helpful for anyone..

I'm with you on that one, but at this point I'd even take blind positivity over the usual constant blind negativity to anything new on HN. Maybe that's the actual remedy to that, a bit of blind positivity in every thread to counteract the immediate all-around pessimism.

That’s fair. I guess the karma system makes for more combative comments, or comments that more align with the status quo. Like https://forums.bunsenlabs.org/viewforum.php?id=13 seems to be welcoming a lot more discussion. I can only give that as an example because it was the last non karma forum I’ve visited in ages, and even that was a long time ago.
