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.
Damn, now I need to manually migrate :/
I was removed for stating that synthetic taurine is a thing which is used in food all the time and that a whole food plant based diet would kill a cat. according to the admin this is promoting dangerous actions.
What the actual fuck. Do they not even know that Monster Energy™ has vegan taurine? How else do they think vegans get their 166mg of caffeine per serving? 🙄
Anyways…
So, is this the instance mod overriding the community mods? Guess it’s time to give up on LW. It really has become the cesspit of Lemmy.
I’m sorry, you were removed for recommending against a plant-based diet for cats by a non-vegan? I’m not sure I understand the angle here.
No I was unremoving comments of someone explaining how a plant based diet can be safe, who also acknowledged that a whole food plant based diet would be lethal. In explaining why I was I also acknowledging that a whole food plant based diet would be lethal.
Cats can survive on a plant based diet, but only one carefully formulated and processed with additional supplements. If you try to keep mr fluffypaws alive on carrots and lentils he will die.
I point out this acknowledgement as it flies in the face of the alleged action of promoting harm to animals. You can check the modlog for the full hilarity /shrug
Okay, that’s at least more consistent. Still bullshit, but it’s not as confusing.
It’s also morally ambiguous to force an animal into a diet they have no understanding of.
This is why veganism needs to become a protected belief in every country of the world.
Wtf?
Speaking as a vegan, safe spaces are boring echo chambers. Let’s stop pretending that this thrift shop link depository is some relevant real world institution. Someone pays for the bandwidth and those guys can be as hitler as they like towards the rest. Speaking as a psychologist (real talk), my advice is stop paying attention to who removed what and why, for your own good. It’s a pile of shit, you shat some, someone else shat their own and they removed yours. It’s all just shit anyway.
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 as a tween some 30 years ago, but it’s not exactly comedy 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 on vegetarians for no particular reason.
