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.

Rules:

  1. Keep discussions civil.

  2. Arguments against veganism will be removed.

  3. No bigotry is allowed - including speciesism, racism, sexism, classism, ableism, castism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia.

  4. Sealioning will not be entertained.

  5. No promoting of plant based capitalism

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

Would it make sense to make a community called "Vegan News" and have the news articles posted there?

I'd a little be happier if it wasn't just people posting a link but also explaining why it's interesting, talking about what's there, etc

I think this is a good idea but I'm not sure who would even post to it. The former most active poster is doing the same on lemmy.vg with wider reach and is federated. I don't mind just using that one either. I might not approve of their use of multiple alternate accounts but it is what it is.
