This is a community in the spirit of "Am I The Asshole" where people can post their own bans from lemmy or reddit or whatever and get some feedback from others whether the ban was justified or not.

Sometimes one just wants to be able to challenge the arguments some mod made and this could be the place for that.

Rules

Expect to receive feedback about your posts, they might even be negative.

Make sure you follow this instance's code of conduct. In other words we won't allow bellyaching about being sanctioned for hate speech or bigotry.


Some acronyms you might see.

Fake vegans (sopuli.xyz)

Vegans being banned and comments being deleted from [email protected] for being fake vegans.

From my perspective, the comments were in no way insulting and just part of completely normal interaction. If this decision reflects the general opinion of the mod team, then from my perspective, the biggest vegan community on Lemmy wants to be an elitist cycle of hardcore vegans only, not allowing any slightly different opinion. Which would be very unfortunate.

PS: In contrast to the name of this community, I don't want to insult anyone here being a 'bastard'. I just want to post this somewhere on neutral ground. I would really appreciate an open discussion without bashing anyone.

I can't read that but yeah the Vegan community here has a long history of being total assholes.

The vegan Community is actually quite shit. They don't hesitate to delete your comment just because you aren't a vegan, even if you agree with them in certain points.

Love the user name. Ruminant revolution!

Knee-jerk reactionary vegans? In a vegan community?

You don’t say!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 hours ago (2 children)

i swear a lot of these are plants… the way to degrade leftist online spaces is to just be so extreme it’s absurd and everyone feels outcast….
of course first they grow their little sub until it’s the biggest one, and then they start pissing everyone of as much as possible by being so much more communist, trans, vegan, whatever….
then you walk away feeling disconnected from vegans….
like did you see the person with “dragonfucker” as their preferred pronoun? a bunch of people got banned for saying it’s obviously concern trolling and nobody’s gender is actually “dragonfucker”…. for gatekeeping or some dumb shit…
how are these established mods with huge communities? they must’ve taken over or been fake in the beginning…

Vegan Sub

Plants

I see what you did there :)

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Yup. And yeah, that “drag” clown is nothing but a troll that’s making a mockery out lemmy, and blatantly disrespecting those that take their pronouns seriously.

It’s pathetic that they even have some users here that believe their bullshit, but they’ve got an entire instance defending them. Admin and all.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Their stance is that even if he's a troll, respecting pronouns is more important than removing that right whether people are trolling or not.

I'm not trans, but I see where they come from.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

You can still respect their pronouns while banning them for being a troll. That shouldn’t be mutually exclusive.

I (a vegan) got banned from there for finding the love of cows cloying. I said we shouldn't have to pretend cows are cute to convince others not to kill and eat them.

It really isn't a place for even back and forth amongst friends, "no conversation - only agreement"

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 hours ago

I think cows are adorable (in a positive manner :D) but yes, completely agree. Being a vegan shouldn't require that you passionately love being in contact with all kinds of species. I mean - despite them playing a role in the ecosystem - who loves ticks or mosquitoes?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 7 hours ago

cloying

adjective

excessively sweet, rich, or sentimental, especially to a disgusting or sickening degree

Neat, new word.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 12 hours ago

I mean what level of vegan are you? Do you eat anything that casts a shadow?
