Usually here it's not a good thing because nothing is allowed to be good. Was the same on a lot of Reddit, too. Like, the upliftingnews subreddit comments were the worst for it.

"Child spends weekends collecting cans from the trash to save enough money to turn off the Orphan Crushing Machine for a day" is not uplifting news, and is most of what got posted there.

Somewhat true, but there were a lot of genuinely good "new development will do X" or "Millionaire sets up foundation for Y". Those invariably were filled with top comments about "sure this will make food more affordable in X, but what about (mostly or totally unrelated bad thing)??" or "this is a step in the right direction, but it doesn't immediately solve all problems!!", which were exhausting and useless. For a whole bunch of people, Nothing Can Ever Be Good.

You know, like a bunch of comments in this thread.
