Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

MODERATORS
Just going to comment that with this one, we are going to need eye protection as the virus really likes the eyes.
So for this one, masking isn't enough.
If anyone does riskier stuff, stoggles or a face shield, a good mask and protective gloves are probably a good combo for safety. And of course hand washing and avoidance of hand-to-eye contact.
Oh cripes
We already had a hard enough time getting people to cover their fucking nose and mouth
They're never going to protect their eyes
You'll have people who normally wear glasses every waking moment to see, making a point of doing that glass-on-head thing even if means they can't see a thing, if it means "owning the libs".
This will definitely happen. We will see these people walking head on into lamp posts because "muh liberty".
And if you've got crazy dry eyes like me, there's some really cool (and unfortunately really expensive) glasses for dry eyes called "moisture chamber" glasses. A piece of silicon magnetically attaches to your glasses and goes mostly flush with your face to keep moisture in. Would also stand to reason it keeps out a lot.
They're kinda dorky looking, but it is the curse I must bear to not feel like stabbing my eyes out.
