One can always cherry pick good or bad elements of FB use, but the vast majority of users and the average use case would not have anything to do on the Community Voices page.

Most people use facebook to satisfy vices such as outrage addiction, vanity, and jealousy/noseyness.

Even cable news runs an uplifting story every now and then, but for the most part simply magnifies and profits from the worst in society.

Hacker news ain't that different. Pretty much every article I see here that mentions Facebook or any other company is full of outrage. Just 2 days ago there was an article on the Facebook fine [0] and half the people were demanding that Facebook should have been dismantled and the executives should have gone to jail.
