There's no hope for the human race.
This is the internet and it's used for communicating ideas that people have. It's going to have it's shortcomings for sure, but anything remotely associated to public use is most definitely going to have issues regarding freedom of speech to those who don't want to hear it.
Yes, people complain about how awful their lives must be. It's not like anyone actually have enough of their own problems to care but it makes people feel better when they come online to convey their message of distress without actually doing anything to solve it. It's when you start taking steps toward fixing your life and sorting yourself out that life gets even more depressing before it gets any better.
It's funny, the only place where I've seen these rants and raves are on furry boards. Compared to the /qq/ boards, the things people post as their "problems" are flat out bogus. They're not even problems that remotely have any influence on the aspect of real life...AND YOU WANT ME TO FEEL SORRY FOR YOU? No. I have work to do, people to see, and places to be. To compare, you have those complaining about people who were "rude to them online" or people online who "don't agree with me." Meanwhile I'm dealing with law enforcement officers, going to court, dealing with the VERY unpleasant public, trying to pay bills, worry about finding out that my job is on the line because someone else messed up, and coming home to find out your dog just died after dealing with people who would like to piss in your face at work everyday...guess what else? They're also rude (to my face) and don't agree with me.
The world is a mean place isn't it? Complaining right back to it seems pretty ironic and stupid if you ask me.
