Whatever hobby you enjoy, avoid its online community as much as possible. It's a great way to see negativity and arguing, which we all know constant negativity and discourse is fantastic for our collective mental health.
It's also a good way to never actually getting the ball rolling on a new hobby, and instead obsessively research what the "correct" way of doing xyz is and then be too overwhelmed by all the opinions to actually get started yourself.
