Too Much DRAMA in the Sewing Community?

Is there too much online drama in the sewing + quilting community? This is something I think about fairly often, and I want to discuss this topic with you. I realize that social media isn't real life, but it seems like every week there's a new controversy or outrage over something or someone. At what point is gossip counterproductive? Is this genuine outrage or more of a mob mentality / witch hunt phenomenon? Do we need to focus more on positivity? Does this scare away newcomers to the space?
