I think we need to either redefine safe spaces, change people’s expectations of them, or get rid of them entirely.

This is a very extreme example. I’m saying that more nuanced discussion and differences in views from within a community struggle in safe spaces.
I understand the concept. I’m saying that this way of working creates echo chambers.
Unfortunately, a lot of these safe spaces become echo chambers. People don’t want to have their views challenged or try to see things from other perspectives. Many attempts at constructive dissent as mentioned in this post are discouraged and are generally unwelcome.

This bot should see when a link has already been posted and not duplicate it. Similarly, some kind of automod should prevent the same article being posted twice.

I cross-post when I know something is especially relevant to multiple communities. If I don’t then someone else will, either not cross-posting or using a different source, meaning it will definitely show up multiple times to people.

How are you choosing your destinations in the first place? There just be a reason you’re traveling to these places, especially as you state it’s specifically for tourism. Wouldn’t it make sense to do/see the things that attracted you there in the first place?

How do you feel about finding things difficult and failure? Because that’s really important to consider when thinking of suggestions. It also depends how dedicated or how hard you are on yourself.
Who said anything about challenging views all or most of the time?
The issue with constructive dissent is that if someone perceives an initial idea as bad, it cannot be dismissed or criticised; it has to be built on. Do we want things to be built on flawed foundations? We should be able to say “no” without being cast out from our own community.
