 I'm often tempted to reply to or refute folks with views I consider overly pessimistic or unnecessarily discouraging. I know better. 

Making an effort to simply seek out and share more information about people doing good things in the world, organizations working for positive change, and interesting ideas to make the work a better place. 

Any good hashtags to follow for this kind of info?

Here are some I've found.

#CiviTech 
#cooperative 
#hope
#sustainability
#ecofriendly 
#selfcare 
 @1dde4de3 It's taken me a long time to realize that it's better to start a new post with my own opinion, rather than argue with them. It's rarely helpful.

I have had some success, when I share the basic values of the post to reply in a way that "yes, ands" them. I carefully word it to make it less argumentative and sometimes that is received well. #improv
