You may have the privilege of participating in an online 
community, sure.

But expressing something 'negative' would fall under the right to 
freedom of thought, opinion, an expression (Article 19 of 
Universal Declaration of Human Rights).

It takes a very special kind of community to recognise that the 
community does not come at the expense of the rights of the 
individual. It also takes a very special kind of person to know 
that the individual does not come at the expense of the rights of 
the community.

Many communities, and individuals, continue to struggle with this 
philosophy - preferring one over the other. That is the real 
cause of conflict, not the expression of negativity.

Personally, I found that youtube video (Life is better with 
Rust's community automation - YouTube) rather disturbing.
