    It’s important to be aware that any negative community tends to snowball to a ridiculous level. If you make an “I hate spinach” community, it pretty quickly becomes ridiculous and likely more serious than you intended.

    Some negative communities can be important, but you have to actively combat this snowball tendency. And it’s usually better to just avoid it altogether.

    • It doesn’t even have to be negative.

      Just look at /r/birdsarentreal. Shit was just a joke. Now there are people that 100% believe there is a government conspiracy using drones disguised as birds.

      “Any community that gets it’s rocks off pretending to be stupid, will eventually be joined by actually stupid people who think they are in good company.”
