I agree that this sub can be a bit of an echo chamber, which is concerning, but there are a lot of people here with conflicting viewpoints. However, many of these posts only have derision to offer rather than meaningful discussion.
We are optimistic. That doesn't mean we don't allow criticism, or that we are not open to being wrong.
People can make posts without an argument or point other than to say they are excited. If you disagree with a specific point this person makes than say so, but don't belittle or demean others simply for expressing enthusiasm.
If you just don't like optimism there are plenty of other subreddits out there that may be a better fit for you, such as r/Futurology.
Let's try to create a welcoming and respectful community here, even if we don't always agree with each other.
