So I have recently gotten interested in home plant based meat substitutes like seitan and this guy pops up every time I look for recipe guides on Youtube and I have noticed a few red flags. As an example, he has like 20 different hamburger recipes that all use wildly different ingredients while claiming they are all better tasting than Impossible meat. And of those recipes, most use highly processed or sponsored ingredients that are difficult to get.
So I can participate without subscribing to all of these ideas? It seemed implied by the communal speech that this is a unanimous point of view.
We on the discord agree on it and it’s why we have the rule about no brand names. We don’t want this space colonized by ads which happens anywhere you let ads and bloggers in. There are a million communities for that stuff. Our objective is to have people be friends and know where to ask questions and rely on people. The biggest problem with veganism isn’t that there aren’t enough businesses that cater to us it is that vegans don’t have vegan friends and it becomes extremely isolating. Anarchists are people who want to cooperate without being forced and not whatever bullshit you read about tankies online.
I mean this is a lemmy board for pictures. There is no requirements for participating other than being nice and sharing pictures. If you are so averse to reading ideas and intellectually incurious, don’t ask us questions about things and be surprised that we have opinions. No one at any time forced anyone to do anything or required you to think anything.
The last anarchy related community I tried to engage with would ban people for not being the right kind of anarchist. No true anarchist fallacy or something along those lines.
Anarchism doesn’t exist online or in message boards, it is the spirit of mutualism and friendship between people who can rely on each other. I literally said “If you like this stuff or support it, that is fine and we are not telling other people what to do” before your shitty “well then” response.
