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.
