I'm getting really fucking weary of seeing sentiments like, "being upset about someone scheduling a non-emergency dental appointment in the middle of the second largest covid wave is deranged" or "you're a selfish asshole for expecting your loved ones to do the bare fucking minimum to protect you" in discussions on masking or vaccine uptake

I know I'm not the only one disappointed in the growing anomie. Maybe we should operate more like c/vegan where everything from omnivore apologia to overt antiveganism (analogous to the above anti-precaution/anti-max/anti-vax-apologia) is forbidden, and posting/commenting as much gets you a ban?

lol my other comment was removed for being vague and looking for a fight, so, ahh, let me be clear:

I’m sure instituting a hard line that gets people banned from the checks notes safe space for Covid related discussion will make it easy to correct misinformation and keep people safe.

I am not looking for a fight, but what’s the point of having a Covid discussion com if you gotta uphold a line and can’t ask dumb questions?

Or am I mistaken and this com is only for what seems like in a weird way the inverse of Covid trutherism?

Nobody's getting banned for asking dumb questions, but if you come here to scold people for not licking doorknobs, you are getting banned.

What's your objection to the term "safe space"? This is a genuine question. Is it the wrong term?
