Thanks both! Yeah I do think ultimately the goals of EA and the Forum are not “fun” per say, but hopefully we can still create a space that has positivity. And I think currently, when people write about good news or progress or celebrating success, they get a relatively large amount of karma.
I also agree that we don’t want the tone to be too grim, both because that’s probably bad for motivation, and because I think that can even skew the topics that get discussed in bad ways (like if discussions were all doomy). I think that the Forum could use more cheerful content on the margin. :)
