This forum for the past few months has become predominantly filled up with schadenfreude/spite-based content. I may be in the minority here, but I don't really get off on schadenfreude. Knowing that scum an ocean away are having a bad time doesn't really feel "upbeat" or "uplifting" to me.
I feel it'd be best if the content on this forum were split between two different forums: one for the spite and one for wholesome, positive (political) news. I'd like to see more success stories and wholesome news posted, and I think splitting this forum may encourage that.
I don't really want to tell people what not to post, I just think the schadenfreude posts are crowding out other sorts of content.

I sometimes post stuff that could be interpreted as my enjoying another's suffering, like my recent post about Bolsonaro potentially having skin cancer. Just wanted to say that I see no use in enjoying people's suffering and that's not what I posted it for. I genuinely think it's a good thing that he might die. Since he's fashy and he may die, I consider it uplefting - though maybe not uplifting? Maybe that's where I'm interpreting things differently.
