Is it, though? Yes, hate for something other people love (Teslas in your example) is everywhere, but the most successful places are those that let you regulate that, regulate it for you, or the culture refuses to accept it. I'll disengage from Twitter when it's too negative and when I return its better, either because the russian trollfarm is sleeping, or Twitter notice I disengaged and works to 'do better'.

> the most successful places are those that let you regulate that, regulate it for you, or the culture Like I said, HN ;-). DanG is a treasure. One need look no farther than Reddit to truly appreciate how valuable a skilled, patient moderator is. But as you say, culture plays a role as well. Probably nothing DanG could do would be enough if the general culture amongst HN users was unwilling to go along. Your second point is also a good one, I think. Perhaps the toxic nature of the Internet can be mitigated effectively by remembering to take a break and disconnect the feedback loop.
