Please be patient with us as we are wading through a ridiculous amount of shitposts regarding UFC 249 and Joanna forehead posts (still!). Any uncivil discussion or dishonest discussion of the virus (fear mongering or blatantly wrong information) should be reported so we can address it quickly. Above all, let’s be supportive. This is going to hit all of us personally at some point.

Stay healthy, you ratfucks.
