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?

Very telling that most of the people bashing OP in the other thread are new here and probably aren’t aware of c/covid and the culture this site has about taking COVID seriously.

The critics were using slurs, saying they rarely mask, and making common cause with libs from other instances. Thanks to the mods for cleaning stuff up.

Yeah, I've bit my tongue a few times outside c/covid lately about people angry at being judged for not masking, and it's almost always been newer accounts.
