Who do anonymous forums like Grapevine tend to become negative?

Grow up kid 🥴🤣

Because real identity platforms like LinkedIn end up being overly positive - people can barely be themselves, I think the fair picture lies somewhere between extreme positivity and negativity Although I feel good behaviour comes through. Was very active on Reddit throughout since early 2010s, and while they had their bad moments, I’ve found it to be one of the most helpful and positive platforms if you follow the right places

Grapevine = Ranting Platform.

I disagree with you. I'm active on LinkedIn and Twitter, one which is overtly fake positive and one which is waiting to rip you after one mistake. Grapevine on other hand, made me feel accepted despite insecurities. It is nice how we are all good humans when we are not our name/role/company

Who do voodoo....lol

Nah. On the contrary, Large Anonymous Forums tend to gravitate towards higher cooperation, topic relevance, and Knowledge Transaction when no rules are strictly enforced. Take a comparison between 4chan and Reddit, or between Twitter and Mastodon. 4chan operates through the rule of mutual cooperation and bullying the troll is highly encouraged. In absence of any appeal to authority figures, and instrumentation of appeal to authority; Community itself will eliminate the troll through not feeding it, and bullying them to death. It also gives topic relevance a higher priority and this troll suppression is much more easier. Reddit on the other hand suffered critically from Authority Battles, with mods utilizing powers to suppress all possible discussions which might not agree with them. This led to highest loss of freedom of speech. A social credit system was created and this people started with the "reddit speak". Your question is nice, but extremely juvenile, devoid of actual research into human interaction as groups. If you want to see what features to align, the best would be to hide a reply. Easiest andost impersonal. People will see what they want to see
