(posting to both communities)

A carnist lemmy world instance admin has stepped in and meatsplained to the mods while restoring comments that violated the community’s rules. They deleted comments that they did not agree with, citing ‘misinformation’, and threatened to demod the mods if those comments were removed again. The comments were deleted and the admin was banned from the community as per violating the rules of the community, that was until they unbanned themselves (admin abuse) and unmodded two of the moderators because of “promoting harmfull actions against pets”.

As far as it stands, if the lemmy world community wasn’t already not a safe vegan place for you (it really wasn’t) it most certainly isn’t now as carnists (lemmy world instance admin) currently mod it.

I suggest any vegan who wants a safe and welcoming space to come and interact with vegantheoryclub.org. Sorry for any inconvienance that this may have caused. I am deeply upset at the admins actions today and don’t condone them whatsoever.

    Steak lover here, and I promise you that the opposite type of communities are also pretty boring. Get any group of veg(etari)anism haters together, and eventually someone will mention the lawnmower joke as if they thought of it themselves. Maybe I smiled a bit when I first heard it some 30 years ago, but it’s not exactly commedy gold.

        It basically boils down to “Do vegetarians get hungry when they notice the scent of a freshly mowed lawn? Durrrr”. Like I said, not exactly comedy gold, but it routinely shows up whenever a group starts to rip of vegetarians for no particular reason.

          That was not my point of confusion.

          I agree and am happy that you find these “communities of often boring cis-males with a poor sense of humour and probably a background of being bullies to feel better than others” bad.

          But introducing oneself as a “steak lover” in a vegan community is still extremely edgy. Not like we dont like steak, but we prioritize being humane and not fucking up the environment.

          So yeah, steak lovers can fuck off, while as a human you are welcome here.

          I hope you get what I mean.
