The infection, caused by the ameba Naegleria fowleri, is rare and almost always fatal, according to health officials.

Maybe take a look in the mirror and realize your toxic positivity.

Yes.
In your case it will make 0,0000001% of negativity gone with no loss of anything valuable. It’s a win-win situation. It’s worth it.
And with that I bid you farewell, with the final suggestion to heal yourself, if you’re so empathetic about people, yo.
I have no stake in this game, but I think you’re exaggerating.
First, not everything in OP’s post history is negative. There are actually a few very positive stories in there.
Second, the community is called news, not good news. And unfortunately, bad news travel faster and reach further than good news.
And finally, I’ve come across most of those headlines while scrolling around my feed, which means that the news community would be quite dead (Edit:) which means the news community would be less active if it weren’t for the contributions of OP. Help tip the balance, then!
Edit: I re-checked and there are other active contributors in the news community, so I take back my “community being dead otherwise” comment.

This is no excuse to look for gems like the one we’re discussing under, and bring them to public attention. People die everywhere, each day. It’s a harsh truth and it won’t change. But it does not mean that everyone’s feed should be polluted by all those cherrypicked murders, kidnappings, abuse, violation that concerns people whose we didn’t know just a moment ago.
…and whose pain and suffering still resonates with our own emotions.
Help tip the balance, then!
I do. By not joining the parade of misery and directing my efforts at less toxic communities. And also by stigmatizing the toxic behavior as wrong.
Hey, this is gonna come off mean, but I’m really hoping some of it will rub off and you’ll take something to heart.
You initial point wasn’t terrible. This next post lost anybody that may agree with you. Proverbs and quotes don’t win arguments, they come off as appeals to authority.
In your next paragraph you need to give some room so you don’t come off as unwilling to agree on anything. "I see where your coming from, but “this thing” rubs me the wrong way. “Explanation of why”. In contrast, if what they just said really doesn’t make sense to you: “I honestly can’t understand how you feel that way given that…”
Either way, this is also where you need to present your evidence.
Your final paragraph is great. You have conviction in your stance on the argument. Great way to end a first reply where you haven’t been convinced of anything.

We’re not talking about rules here.

OP is interested in those topics and he’s posting them. I don’t think there is malice in their intentions. Like I said, OP also posts good news. If there was ill-intention, then all of the posts would be “misery,” and you may have a point. But that’s not the case.
I’m actually daring to say that pieces like this one would bring awareness to the risk of getting a brain eating amoeba infection under certain circumstances.

And yet you’re commenting here ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ . And no, that’s not participating by posting the news you want to see, and just whining in the comments, is not helping.
