- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
- Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
- Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world

I never stopped masking and I'm glad. I dont know many fellow Americans who still take it seriously. I get mocked at work sometimes, but fuck em, I haven't had COVID and I'd like to keep avoiding it if I can. Of course, now that RFK Jr. is attempting to limit access to vaccines and boosters in the US....ugh.
*corrected typo that made it unclear
I have ever had COVID either, but did stop masking years back. However. I'm taking my first international flights since 2019 soon, long haul, and I'm shitting myself. Airports seem dangerous places for viruses, planes too. So I'll probably bring masks along and wear them.
Good for you not having it. I've decided to go back to it in general. I don't care who mocks me. Some dude said something to me about wearing one on the bus last year.
And frankly, it's the same people who say "we should have freedom over our own faces" or whatever, that get mad at you for deciding you want the freedom to wear a mask. Sorry that it's also still a problem in Canada, tho.
It's just the odd dumb asshole, most people don't say anything. Usually they're wearing a Fuck Trudeau shirt.
