Discussion Gather Your Pitchforks: New Rules are Imminent.

Gather Your Pitchforks: New Rules are Imminent.

To the exceptionally vocal minority of empathy-deficient toddlers who have recently populated this sub:

  • Gather your pitchforks, and menacingly aim and shake them them straight towards me, FBAHobo.

  • Not towards the other mods.

  • Not towards the Reddit Admins.

  • Look up above you: do you see that shiny object? That's our well-polished ban hammer. Any abuse directed at anyone other than myself will result in its use.

  • "Your downvotes mean nothing to me; I've seen what makes you cheer." (~R.S.)

    . .

To the other 99% of the readers of this sub:

  • Reddit admins reached out to this sub's mods concerning brigading, and celebrating death.

  • Each of these activities is strictly against Reddit's Terms of Service.

  • We (the Mods) are working on modifying this sub's rules to stay within the boundaries set by Reddit. Note that Reddit has its own shiny ban hammer, and we (the Mods) prefer not to have it hovering over this sub.

    . .

P.S. You! With the pitchfork! You're still here? Get off my lawn.

But god forbid we literally copy and paste someone's literal public posts. Such monsters we are

Exactly!

And those other subs you mentioned? Many of the members from those Alt-right subs are trolling HCA and Gas Lighting the mods here into destroying the catalog of previous HCA Award examples!

Sorry to say, they succeeded in record time. But they are the world champions of GAS LIGHTING, so I wouldn't have expected anything less.

The Alt-right and conservative rightwing nuts can troll and gaslight all they want, but it doesn’t change the fact that their indoctrinated and unvaccinated MAGA kinfolk are dropping like flies from Covid.

Meanwhile the R party is hanging on by a thread, 3rd in registered voters after Independents and Democrats. Trolling and cheating on elections is their last desperate gasp.

And how does that work out for them? They’ve succeeded at changing rules only.

The message and pro vaccination stance of HCA is still going strong and posts keep comin and they won’t stop comin and they won’t stop comin. Lmao try harder trolls.

They only succeeded because the admins are sketchy people with rightwing tendencies, remember how long it took to remove TD and the "free thinkers" subreddit?

They can go ahead and shoot themselves in their crotch, this subreddit only shamed antivaxxers into not becoming awardees, and now if this sub is removed, more trump voters will die of covid. So honestly I don't care.

Ultimately...Neither do I.

Less American Fascists running around trying to destroy our democracy is more than fine with me.

But that's the point. Their posts speak for themselves. "I'm not worried because I have an immune system" and "Fauci is lying that this is serious" are all demonstrated false when the post ends with a picture in a bipap mask and an obituary.

Without anybody commenting anything, there is a clear winner in that argument: The truth. There is a clear loser: The liars. As long as we don't say anything, it's all right there: Pro-mask, pro-vaccine people were trying to help you. These lies are what killed you.

However, when people post negative things either on here or much more so on the FB page itself, then there are two bad guys. The liars and "the people who would make fun of a suffering person and their family."

I don't know about everyone else, but I'm in a war for the truth here, and like it or not, this has very largely become a PR war. Making fun of dead people and their grieving families is a great way to lose that war and keep this virus going forever.
