Is covid-liberalism a bannable offense in c/covid?

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?

    Hexbear has historically been one of the few anti-covid communities out there that isn’t primarily focused on Covid, at least that I’ve found. It should absolutely be a bannable offense, I’d argue from the site. I did not realize we had a struggle session about Covid, wtf.

      a user posted a vent post about how he was frustrated his partner got covid and he probably would too as a result, listing a few gripes he had to get them off his chest like that she wasn’t being as careful as he would like and also had a recent dentist appointment, at no point did OP say anything to their partner or in any way imply he wasn’t going to take care of them and a bunch of people said really absurdly aggressive and shitty things to him over it, its still the top fucking post for me right now because people can’t stop pearl clutching
