Why are geographic communities always negative?
Why is it that no matter where in the world, what country or what the apparent topic is, literally every geographically specific community on Lemmy , just like every geographic specific sub on Reddit, is negative. Literally every story is about something horrible, awful, sad or enraging, never anything positive for anything geographic beyond a national level and rarely even then?
Why is this with geographic communities and not others?
Because bad news sells.
What this one said. Humans have a negativity bias. It's just how we're wired.
Not literally every community. Seattle is a reasonable mix. I'm sure we're not the only ones.

How is that relevant here? I'm speaking about the communities that I have the most experience with. OP specifically said "no matter where in the world". Seattle is in the world.
