Does nobody care about the health of themselves and others? Even communists? We're all just giving in to the liberal notion that getting COVID is inevitable and that you don't need to take any measures anymore? I hate everything.

That thread is overwhelmingly pro-masking.
As someone who hasn't seen anyone wearing masks in public in over a year it was kinda weird seeing a thread full of people assuring each other that they are all wearing masks.
I think the assurance only feels needed for that exact reason, many people do not have any IRL community that is covid-aware.
I feel very lucky to have almost half my IRL sphere be on their shit about masking. I don't know if I would still be masking if they weren't, just to be frank.
I think we should do more to combat the relaxed liberal attitudes slipping in around masking in that thread like "I'll only do it when I'm sick/in flu season". I can understand the fatalism that produces those desires, but they probably shouldn't be allowed here, or at least should be strongly disputed.
there were a few comments in there about not masking or relaxing their masking practices majorly, which when I read them last night were sitting there undisputed. But yeah, there's a tendency to only see the bad, not the overall positive community consensus that's been cultivated on this site.
Is it? The comments aren't explicitly anti-masking, but many of the comments are from people who are rationalizing why it's OK in their circumstance to unmask. Some of the newer comments are better but when I first checked the thread yesterday almost all of them were making excuses about why it doesn't really matter or why they can't for such-and-such reason (that I find disputable, "can't" in these contexts often just means they don't want to give up whatever aspect of their lifestyle makes masking difficult and thus excuses their behavior). I joked to my wife yesterday when I was getting annoyed about the thread that it gave me the same impression as when people think up weird hypotheticals about when it is okay to say slurs or whatever.
i dunno then i just typed "mask" in the search engine and sorted by new
