    I would love to repeat this on Tumblr and Xitter.

    @maj Sorry, do you mean posts that I see in my timeline, or posts that I myself make?

    @maj Fedi: as close to zero as I can make it. Facebook: I'm a bit careful, but I'll engage those who are horribly misguided. Local newspaper comments section: if I don't draw blood it's a wasted day.

    @maj As close to zero as I can make it, but honestly not sure how close I actually get. @sknob

    @maj I'm surprised by the results so far (about 60/25/10/5 atm). Personally I post a lot of negative stuff, it's just never criticism directed AT someone. I complain about my own life and if I'm really mad at somebody I'll subtoot, lol. I'm more likely to filter because something sounds "dumb" or "uncool" than negative.

    @maj I guessed roughly 50% but that includes a lot of posts on how we can improve society that by implication are negative because they posit that improvements are necessary.

    @maj Posts? Quite negative. Comments? Almost always positive.

  • @maj I've honestly been taking the approach lately that I want to participate in mostly positive conversations, and that I want to amplify things that are relaxing or humorous. There are a lot of very serious issues going on now, and I will comment on those when I feel I really need to.  However, if I can do something that will make someone else's day a little better by boosting a cat pic, or posting an image of a fountain pen, then that's what I am going to do.

    @maj some day I had kind of resolution to not write about politics, because I didn't want to make others feel so powerless and crushed like I feel when reading about another awful thing I have no power to change. Sometimes I join conversations about difficult topics but I try to not be this one making negative announcements.
