In this thread:
A number of comments were removed for “advocating against masking”. I don’t see that the comments removed advocate for anyone else to stop masking - they answered the question posed by the OP, and are (mostly) not substantially different from the answers that were allowed.
“Advocating for not masking”:
- Is (mostly) not what’s happening here. If the question is acceptable to ask, why isn’t it acceptable to answer?
- Hasn’t been previously communicated as a rule.
I’m mostly just salty because my comment got removed, and I don’t feel like I broke any rules. If that’s the rule going forward, I’ll abide by it.
A lot of ppl on both lemmygrad and hexbear feel strongly that we shouldn’t platform any comments about not masking, due to the potential harm it could cause irl. They reported these comments and we removed them.
I don’t think this needs a people’s court post, and it’s not a bannable offense (unless someone’s linking a bunch of anti-science stuff, wishing other ppl get covid, or trivializing those who had long-covid or something).
Understandable, thanks for the explanation.
I can delete the post. I don’t disagree with masking.
It’s very frustrating to live in a world where masking is generally not accepted (not even AES countries require masking atp, not to mention my reactionary region of the Empire), and to be “in trouble” for even acknowledging that world exists.
