People consider vegans on Lemmy as too preachy. Even in vegan communities here, mods have to remove soooo many inappropriate comments (I read a few of these and they keep getting removed for good reasons). Comments that suggest going vegan on posts about animal abuse are downvoted.
At the same time, whenever there is something about Windows or Chromium based browsers, people here are doing exactly the same. “Just use Linux/Firefox/whatever”.
Suggesting a browser or bashing a corporate brand are not the same as encouraging morally driven life choices. Is that not obvious?
Not really obvious to me. I’m bashing corporate brands as a “morally driven life choice” as well.
That’s fair enough, but it seems it should be obvious that the weighting of browser choice, not moral for most, it’s a browser, and massive diet change based entirely on subjective morality are just not comparable.
Most people going vegan are doing this for ethical reasons, which is the opposite of subjective morality, since the entire point of ethics is, that it does not allow subjective morality.
My point is, that everything about veganism on Lemmy (even in vegan communities) keeps getting downvoted for “too preachy”, even though it often just points out facts, while the same people are literally preaching the Word Of Richard Stallman.
