I think there's a lot of bad posting from thread regulars and there's also a lot of bad posting outside of the thread from the sagas/qcs crew. I think probing thread regulars for the zealous covid acolyte posts and pearl clutching posts is good. But I also think the low effort shitposting or the drive-by bad posts that are intended to get a rise from thread regulars should also get probed. I also think it's fine if "outsiders" post in the thread earnestly and aren't just posting 100 times a day essentially posting "mad??". Good job thread, you've turned me into a pro prober

did the covid IKs get doxxed?

biceps crimes

To be clear, people making fun of your posts or moderating decisions is not doxxing. People quoting your posts as SYQ is not doxxing. Yes, having people quote your posts and make fun of you doesn't feel good, but just because it doesn't feel good doesn't mean you are being doxxed. People here and on the QCS/SAD side both need to stop catastrophizing and making poo poo up

I did when I got doxxed, it felt appropriate given my unashamedly :d2a: posting and openness about who I work for.

My union steward just laughed and said I wouldn't be the first and won't be the last that someone tried to get in trouble over Internet politics slap fights and we have protections against getting disciplined over social media posts in our contract even if someone can put a name and a face to my posts.

but you were actually doxxed, weren't you? you weren't imagining that you were going to be doxxed because people were making fun of your posts?

Apologies if I'm aggro posting and am uninformed, I just think doxxing is a really serious matter, and I don't have that event in my catalog of COVID thread history, and couldn't find anything by searching either

I'd bet good money its reference to some kiwifarms type poo poo and you should probably drop the subject.

it reads as if the QCS/SAD slapfight with this thread resulted in doxxing because of the moderating decisions in the COVID thread. I'll drop the subject when I want to or when I eat a probe for it, thanks though.

As the super gay trans ik who got treated like total poo poo trying to do right by this thread, seeing this from someone who literally was protected by the site owner after posting terrorist threats and given space to drive her patreon has completely broken the lingering shreds of giving a poo poo about this site 'as a community.'

Did someone doxx you when you were an IK?

Does long covid risk accumulate with each infection, or is it a flat rate? Any sources, preferably from the mother fuckin' CDC? Help me out with my turbolib friend pls

How’s this? https://medicine.wustl.edu/news/repeat-covid-19-infections-increase-risk-of-organ-failure-death/

“Overall, the researchers found that people with COVID-19 reinfections were twice as likely to die and three times more likely to be hospitalized than those with no reinfection.

Additionally, people with repeat infections were 3½ times more likely to develop lung problems, three times more likely to suffer heart conditions and 1.6 times more likely to experience brain conditions than patients who had been infected with the virus once.”

Someone commented on my N95 for the first time this year. I was picking up some breakfast sandwiches in a drive through lane. When I rolled up to the window, the guy working at the window stopped and starting winding up to ask me about my mask, which made me think "oh boy, here we go". He said he was curious and asked why I was wearing my mask, since he barely sees them anymore. I kept it short and just said I am being extra careful because people I live with are vulnerable. Thought he was going to scoff at me but he said he respected it but stopped wearing because he felt too self-conscious to keep wearing his, then talked about how his dad had ALS when he was a kid and his dad got hosed up by random colds they would bring home.

What are you guys doing for haircuts? Do you just hold the mask in place when you take the straps off?

Q: A friend is coming into town and will be available to hang out for a night. Is there any test they can take that'd give us a reasonable assurance that they won't infect us with COVID if they hang out at our house? We mask everywhere outside our house and haven't been got yet. They asked if they could take a test and IDK. They'll wear an N95 too if we must but it's more of a pain in the rear end for all of us, especially with the weather outside being hot and humid lately
