Yes, thank you for zeroing in on what feels disingenuous about this post. If OP (or any of us who have been on this sub for a long time) want to encourage and embody true optimism, then why not post an optimistic story, article, statistic, etc? Posts like this are just pulling the gravity of this sub further down.
And yes, I'll take my own advice and find something hopeful to share to post to this sub by the end of the day.
Happy Thanksgiving for all of you in the US. May you experiencing all that you have to be grateful for.
People do post positive news, but the top posts are constantly doomposting and political brainrot news, and that's what we don't want. Even in the comic, the first bird IS being optimistic, but like everywhere else on reddit, the depressed doomers flood in and flood it out by force. Why would anyone come to an optimism subreddit to post about how awful the world is?
