View submission: COVID denialism and policy clarifications
For some people yes, that’s definitely true. It still sucks to put over a year of hard work into keeping r/lockdownskepticism a civil place without conspiracies and for academic discussions and to have people like OP dismiss us with the loonies. I mean for Christ’s sake, we’ve worked pretty hard to get those AMAs with experts in the field and to keep our sub the type of place academics WANT to do AMAs on. A few experts (not going to mention names) have explicitly said that they were glad to see that we were reasonable and not like the conspiracy folks, and that’s why they chose to do an AMA.
I always assumed people went after NNN more because they were an easier target due to, let’s face it, all the weird crap that’s posted. But LDS isn’t like that. Half the mod team are academics ourselves ffs…

Your mistake is thinking people like OP *care*. They don't. They see that you don't march in lockstep with them and thus they deem you an enemy to be crushed. Stop thinking these people are acting in any form of good faith whatsoever because they aren't. All you do by giving them the benefit of the doubt is give them room to maneuver.

The American Liberals don't even understand there are countries outside of the US, with their own policies and consensus on mask mandates and lockdowns.
I appreciate your hard work in keeping the subreddit going, but I think the writing is on the wall really.
It really sucks as most of the complainants are privileged Americans who've never even seen a proper lockdown! This has really shown that Reddit just isn't a decent international site, might be better to move to Lemmy.
