Perhaps a private sub forum that requires this user “flag” to enter?
I think it makes more sense for the socially irresponsible non-rna altering population to receive a star and be "concentrated" into certain threads only. A sort of forum ghetto.

Better is subjective Cort. It's a little humor "injected" into some otherwise tense and morose conversation.

It's also a commentary on exactly where things are heading in society. Tom is pointing it out with satire. But its going to get quite serious quite fast.

And I'm sure the folks who feel proud of their vaccinations will feel equal pride when non vaxers are locked out of commerce and social interaction. In fact some have stated that flatly.

Edit - I'm not 100% TF was being satirical.....

On tf, the issue for me is I now have to assume every single post is satire.

If there’s any posts that are actually made to be taken at face value, it is impossible to know.

Just my opinion, tf. This one is obviously satire. But many are hard to tell, esp. if you are a new sub.

I hate those "I voted" stickers so much! If seeing me wear that sticker makes the difference between somebody voting and not voting, then I definitely do NOT want to wear the sticker.

How about the badges in my sig line?

The virus badge can indicate that you got infected with Covid and developed immunity the good old-fashioned way.

And the syringe badge can indicate that you got the vaccine. One syringe if you got your first shot, and two syringes if you got two shots.

I haven't been vaccinated, so of course I'll delete the syringe badges. Just temporarily putting them there as an example.
