They addressed where negativity is found, what constitutes a negative comment, how to handle truly negative comments, and the technical aspects of deleting, blocking, or moderating comments through tools like IP addresses and comment policies. Maintaining a positive attitude after negative comments and balancing authenticity with avoiding controversy were also discussed.
