I tend to browse /All and by New on Lemmy. I went to respond on a thread on !vegan@lemmy.world to thank someone for a recipe that looked good, and found out I had been banned.

Odd, considering I hadn’t posted to that sub at any point in the past. I checked the modlog to find that “Mod” had banned a bunch of people citing “Rule 5.”

Their Rule 5 states: Bad-faith carnist rhetoric & anti-veganism are not allowed, as this is not a space to debate the merits of veganism. Anyone is welcome here, however, and so good-faith efforts to ask questions about veganism may be given their own weekly stickied post in the future (see current stickied discussion).

I (and hundreds of others) seemingly broke rule 5 of this community without ever posting there. What is going on?

And my apologies if this isn’t the place for this, but I had no idea where else to post the question.

Yeah.

I left beehaw because they seem determined to build a echo chamber too

A minority literally accused of me of wanting to kill all of them simply because I only half agreed with a post.

And then a admin overlooked that, and accused me of causing a fight in a “safe space” which seems to be just another term for echo chamber

I have friends from that minority 😂

Bro’s unironically saying “I’m not a racist, I have minority friends” and wondering why Beehaw doesn’t want him around.
