Lemmy users encountering a vegan: "How dare you care about what someone does in their private life?"
Also Lemmy users when someone mentions they still use Windows occasionally: "The clock tells the time. It is the time. THE TIME OF WAR."
oh lemmy has a sizable vegan percentage.
the problem is they became so militant, and abrasive to otherwise normal behavior, that they cloistered themselves to their own groups.
they don’t allow participation of the general population, yet don’t prevent their posts from reaching ALL causing immediate confrontation, and alienating themselves as an “other” to the larger collective.
it’s a shame because any sort of headway or mutual understanding of the horrors of how we treat livestock gets kinda overshadowed by personal attacks and righteous indignity. no real conversation on the issues happen as it turns into another circle jerk one one side, and a issue that is overlooked by the other as manufactured by our society.
Kind of a mainstay of vegan evangelicalism for 75+ years
I generally see some good comments from vegans (and non vegans) in these kinds of threads, but definitely also see some of the comments you've mentioned of "you are evil and immoral for doing this."
yea, the ones that are not in the vegan safe space are not primed to, i hate to say it, virtue signal. it would not get so bad if they were not rave baiting all communities. but i do notice i don’t get meny cooking recipes from the vegan channels, must be talking about something else…
