Thank you. I feel many are falling in the same trap as the actual media: they want engagement in their community, and the stuff that riles people up does that and gets them coming back. My question is if that is what we want growing here?

I'd rather this just be a place to chill and have fun, but stay up to date on news too. I don't know why people want to argue with the same dozen people here when they could antagonize many more people at Reddit if that's their thing.

I try to post nothing but positive stuff, but if I look around one day and don't enjoy anything else around me here, why would I stay?
