I have encountered some negativity on Lemmy recently, so I just wanted to start a laid back thread to see what are people's plans for the week-end (discuss.tchncs.de)

There will always be negativity unfortunately. I’ve come to realize that engaging in it is a waste of one’s time and doesn’t help resolve whatever issue the person on the other side may be going through. I try to diffuse situations, but I can’t always spend all my time doing that.

Indeed, that's the most reasonable approach. I was a bit down because I had put a lot of energy into a community, but the mod didn't really seem to opening discussions with the members. I ended leaving, but that left a bitter taste
