Over the past year, increased regulatory pressure in multiple regions like UK OFCOM and Australia's eSafety has led to higher operational costs, including infrastructure, security, and the need to work with more specialized service providers to keep the site online and stable.

Any places online that aren't full of negativity?

Like are there any sites or places that don't have like politics and people arguing and posts about everything wrong with the world? Sometimes I just want to pretend everything is okay, you know? IDK, maybe this is a weird place to ask this question, lol.
Sites about video games that haven't gone woke yet might be a place. Their interest is outside of real life, so discussions should mainly be about the game itself. But any site about something in real life is guaranteed to be full of people currently under attack by their government. Same kind of goes for gamers, but they're there to be outside of real life.
If you can find a site where the users don't need to buy food, work at a job, hang out irl with friends, and avoid medical experimentation, you should be fine.

The comment section on pornsites are almost exclusively highly positive and free of any toxicity, you can even ask dumb gaming questions that would get you bullied to oblivion anywhere else and get nice, polite, helpfull awnsers.

No, there are no places where there are not politics,
because politics are the broader context of our everyday lives.
See, for instance, the recommendation above to seek video-game spaces that "aren't woke":
This simply means that, instead, a certain set of social-political attitudes are still considered the norm, a certain set of ingrained biases are still considered "natural," and no one from communities who are hurt by this is showing up to be "loud" about it there.
I sympathise with what you're looking for, Inez. Once we see all this violence and conflict happening around us we can't unsee it and it's tiring. And hard to realize the people we can find safety, rest, or solidarity among, are a rather small minority.
It's really hard to find such places right now, with so much going on in the world, and so many people having access to the interwebz. Disagreements and conflicts are inevitable.
Maybe you'll have some luck if you search for communities that are focused on a specific subject, hobby related forums tend to discuss nothing other than what they're interested in, but you'll always find someone trying to insert their worldview into everything.
At this point, I just embraced it and became part of the problem myself.
The joke is that comments are disabled. I don't think what you're asking for is actually possible without either heavy censorship/moderation or a topic so innocuous that no form of discussion even takes place.

I've though the same thing Inez. A website where people discuss things good about life and the world. While I can sypathize and empathize with the despair of people here, spending too much time on here can't help but make your mental state worse than when you logged on.
There's websites for only positive news. Kinda funny since they rarely post about world events .
Also comedy news reports, they rarely dwell on the tragic.
Subreddits mentioned are great too. You can live in a comfy bubble with a good adblock and unsubscribing from negative channels on social media.
I would agree that some community centered around a hobby or (fictional) media could be a good option, as most discussion will center around that subject instead of anything going on in real life. Though, they can very much still be full of people who like to get into arguments and flame wars around whatever the subject is, it might be easier to deal with if the topic itself is not so serious. And the occasional political topics might pop up anyway considering the atmosphere of things right now.
Those kind of positive/"feel good" only news websites might be another good option. I don't have any experience with those so I can't say whether that would be relevant or helpful to you.
If you find it, please let me know. People are so damn judgmental. I left Twitter because I just got so discouraged from reading all the hate towards trans and non-binary folk, people supporting death threats made to politicians, and just general cattiness. I mean, I'd make an innocent comment about liking a tv show, and people would be jumping down my throat! One guy was even going on about how the show "the Equalizer" was "woke nonsense" because it depicted racism. Absolutely nothing on there is just relaxed commentary. Everything turns into some huge debate. Youtube comments are even worse. People picking apart others for their physical appearance, critiquing absolutely every little thing anyone says or does. I tried just following fun stuff on Facebook (unfollowed most people but followed a few seemingly fun pages), but there are all these articles everywhere with people judging each other for stupid things, like parents not feeding their kids an all organic diet, or brides not inviting people to weddings, and the comments were just filled with strong opinions on things that I just don't think are that big a deal.

This really sucks. And about the political thing, I guess something like "look at this cute image" "look at this uplifting news" "look at this cool thing" can be someone political, but I also think that its in degrees, either way its more the political arguing that I don't like. Posting art of anime characters celebrating LGBT pride or something is probably somewhat political to some people, but it would be acceptable content in my view.
