A carnist lemmy world instance admin has stepped in and meatsplained to the mods while restoring comments that violated the communityâs rules. They deleted comments that they did not agree with, citing âmisinformationâ, 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 âpromoting harmfull actions against petsâ.
As far as it stands, if the lemmy world community wasnât already not a safe vegan place for you (it really wasnât) it most certainly isnât 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 donât condone them whatsoever.
For what it worth, the mods at vegan community are also deleting comment disagreeing with their point of view. Itâs one thing to accuse rooki for power abuse, which i tend to agree as admin should be impartial to their ruling and not demote/remove based on emotion, but itâs ironic that the mod also did the exact same thing they accuse rooki for. Lesson here is, donât fucking abuse power based on your emotion and then whine about it after losing that privilege. Itâs a very highschool drama this one is.
Every vegan community Iâve ever visited has been such a strong echo chamber that they give atheists a run for their money.
They will not tolerate discussion that is not in full agreement.
Just ignore the vegans like you ignore a random person on the street yelling about some nonsense.
It is a vegan community youâre talking about it should appeal to vegans and to the safety of animals first and foremost. People were coming into our community promoting violence against the other animals.
I donât care what community weâre talking about, weâre discussing powermod/poweradmin here so i do care about the action of the mod and if you think just because youâre vegan you get to be exempted by common sense, then youâre mistaken. People are talking about food for pets, not for human consumption, itâs still a hot topic that you yourself said itâs less studied and canât even be sure if itâs safe to do so, discussion amongst the community are needed, not swept under the rug. You guys are getting criticised here not because of being vegan, but because of the action you guys take, stop using veganism as your shield and looking like a bunch of imbecile.
People said veganism isnât a religion but this looks more and more like one.
Experiment on yourself all you want, but not your companion who depends on you. This is not a great subject to gather support from a larger audience with.
That being said, controversial subjects need to be discussed, not deleted. Nobody was intentionally trying to harm animals here. These actions donât feel right
That is a strawman. As there are numerous studies on how the vegan diet is safe for all stages of human life.
It is also proven to be safe for dogs and cats.
