Facebook doesn&#x27;t want to encourage contention and negative emotions? Seems logical to me.<p>You remember how you feel when you use a product. When I comment on HN I feel like I&#x27;m standing before a military tribunal that is trying to pick apart everything I say and find a way to disagree with it. When I use Facebook I feel nothing but love and appreciation from the people I know and care about.<p>You may think that&#x27;s lame or that you&#x27;re above that, but I deal with enough shit in the rest of my life that I don&#x27;t mind having a cushy place online to communicate with the people who care about me. And I&#x27;ll even put up with Buzzfeed and email-forward-worthy garbage to do so.<p>On a macro scale I think that&#x27;s something the world needs badly. I think most people could do with a little more love and positivity in their lives.
