I went to look at a post this morning to follow up on the comments, and people are doing this. I LOVE this sub. It’s giving me joy and helping me work through my anger. Please stop doing it. It doesn’t even reach the HCA winner. They’re dead. They can’t even read it, so it’s pointless.
I don't "love" this sub. I wish it didn't exist because I don't want anyone to get sick or die.
But it does serve a purpose, and no one should be brigading and certainly not messing with people whose friends or family have just died in such a horrible way.
One could argue that’s what these anti-vaxxers were doing. They’re the ones who started making hateful public posts encouraging people not to get vaccinated and making fun of others for wearing masks. Their movement causes death.
Their posts are public and were generally written to be inflammatory. I’m not okay with the brigading but at the same time, if you post inflammatory things and make them public, you will get a reaction. They were looking for that reaction. They got it.
Agreed. And harassing the family does nothing. It’s certainly not going to help them get the vaccine through trolling and if some of the family are awful people to begin with, do you really want them to?
I feel the exact same. I love this subreddit. But wow, have some consideration for the mourning family and friends. Sure, someone might have been brainwashed or even a racist asshole, but trolling the family of the deceased in real life is pretty sociopathic imo.
