The vegan place to discuss things.

Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of animals, humans and the environment. In dietary terms it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals.

I don't like this comm aside from a handful of posts and want it to change (vegantheoryclub.org)

I don't think "vegan news" is a valuable service and leads to low effort content.

This is supposed to be a social media site for friends, not whatever this is. @[email protected] made by far the best post here and I really appreciate that. The rest of the content is boring and banal in my opinion.

Is there anything we can do to change this community? I'd like this to be more about us and our veganism than about vegan news or memes. Please let me know what you think

I was supposed to post about this. I would prefer more incidental stuff by vegans. Carnism is extremely ubiquitous and it's unpleasant to idk be chatting about raincoats and have someone suggest lanolin or beeswax. I'd prefer if it was the sort of comm where you could post incidental stuff like that.

That sounds very useful actually! I've wanted to ask some questions about vegan alternatives for things I've just been doing without but didn't really know where.

Yeah, not even like vegan alternatives specifically but more casual chat topic focused by post.

I like seeing people's hobbies, thoughts, ideas and so on but it's absolutely miserable always being on guard for the "oh cool, but wait! murder" whiplash when people just insert animal products or the discussion thereof into stuff.

Makes sense! There are a few general communities. I've got a terrible work/life balance so I haven't been able to contribute as much as I would like.
