Lobsters ( http://lobste.rs ) is much lower volume than HN, but it's a community I'm glad to be a part of, nonetheless. The comments tend to be far more positive than they are here on HN. I've sent you an invite! Edit: added missing 'e' to URL.

Is the URL right? Firefox mobile for Android cant load the page

Your own comment history has plenty of criticism in it. Not unwarranted criticism (from the few I read), but certainly not exclusively inspirational/optimistic replies.

Trying not to be too cynical, but it looks like you're really looking for a community of exclusively like minded peers vs optimism. Not sure how you do that across a broad space of topics.

HackerNews was much more optimistic only three or four years back. It used to be full of posts about "smart toothpicks disrupting the dental industry" etc. I found it a little nauseating.

The last few years, for some reason, the tone here seems to be a bit more jaded.

I love HN the way it currently is. People here are polite and sane, but there is enough skepticism that the site is no longer full of ridiculous garbage.

99% of the internet is content to work itself up over press releases, hype, and shoddy reporting. HN is the one site I go to where people have level heads.
