It was more of a plea than an attack, but I can see why it seemed that way. I'd edit it if I could.
And since you're here, why aren't you doing more to [flag/demote/whatever] content where people are saying that Covid booster shots and their requirements are nothing more than "petty tyrants wanting to control what others do."? Surely that's worse than a small attack on the person saying it?
- dang 5y agoIf there are comments breaking the site guidelines that aren't getting moderated, the likeliest explanation is that we didn't see them. There are far too many for us to see them all. Referring to authorities as "petty tyrants" or whatever probably doesn't count a personal attack unless the "petty tyrant" is personally present. I don't think those comments are very high quality, but this is the internet. Trying to raise comment quality is like trying to lift a tsunami. We do what we can. I don't agree that personal attacks are "small". I think they are particularly poisonous to community.
- yupper32 5y agoI agree I could have been better at not attacking the poster. I'll try to do better (though I'm not allowed to fix my mistake due to site restrictions). I also think that if vaccine misinformation (which includes that vaccine requirements are just petty tyrants controlling people and not based in science, which is the root post here if you couldn't find it) isn't currently against the current guidelines, then that's an issue.
