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?

I asked on reddit-logo in my local city's subreddit to get a list of covid-safe dentists. I got downvoted and trolled to hell but I also got a list of dentists who require everyone in the clinic -- patients and staff -- wear masks. I also got a list of ones who had relaxed requirements so I could avoid them. Now I'll admit I've had a lot going on and I haven't called any of them to arrange an appointment yet since I just wanted to plan a regular checkup and cleaning, but it's a start.

I might also suggest /r/ZeroCovidCommunity, which is pretty leftist for reddit-logo . I know that site is shit in general but these were niche helpful uses of it.
