Community Rules
You must post before you leave
Be nice. Assume others have good intent (within reason).
Block or ignore posts, comments, and users that irritate you in some way rather than engaging. Report if they are actually breaking community rules.
Use content warnings and/or mark as NSFW when appropriate. Most posts with content warnings likely need to be marked NSFW.
Most 196 posts are memes, shitposts, cute images, or even just recent things that happened, etc. There is no real theme, but try to avoid posts that are very inflammatory, offensive, very low quality, or very "off topic".
Bigotry is not allowed, this includes (but is not limited to): Homophobia, Transphobia, Racism, Sexism, Abelism, Classism, or discrimination based on things like Ethnicity, Nationality, Language, or Religion.
Avoid shilling for corporations, posting advertisements, or promoting exploitation of workers.
Proselytization, support, or defense of authoritarianism is not welcome. This includes but is not limited to: imperialism, nationalism, genocide denial, ethnic or racial supremacy, fascism, Nazism, Marxism-Leninism, Maoism, etc.

Moderator Guidelines
Moderator Guidelines
- Donât be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral.
- Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username.
- When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM.
- Donât waste time debating/arguing with problematic users.
- Assume the best, but donât tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
- Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal.
- Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated.
- Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren't unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do.
- Don't rush mod actions. If a case doesn't need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback.
- Donât perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay.
- Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we donât want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they havenât been banned of course.
- Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
- First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
- Use neutral statements like âthis statement can be considered transphobicâ rather than âyou are being transphobicâ.
- No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.).
- Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback.
- Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You donât get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.

Come and join us by the fire, we can make you potato hash and some vegan sausages :)
I've never heard of kartofelpuffer or douhua, what are they? I've been trying to learn more vegan dishes but only know one I really love so far. I really like chickpea curry, and I have a couple more dishes I'm working on making vegan but I'm still figuring out substitutions I like and stuff
Liberation pledge sorry, I'll never eat with carnists practicing carnism. I mean would you sit at a table and watch people torture a puppy and feel find because you didn't partake? Or eat somewhere with enslaved waiters but serve yourself?
One of my most fundamental beliefs is that subjecting other minds to domination and violence for pleasure is impermissible. Tbh I'm honestly surprised more people aren't vegan given most people think of themselves as people who would choose to be kind if it were an option. Very few people think they would be among the varst majority that would have endorsed the transatlantic slave trade, yet we enslave other species who we have every reason to believe feel very similarly to ourselves without thought.
https://www.daringgourmet.com/traditional-kartoffelpuffer-reibekuchen-german-potato-pancakes/#recipe - a german potato pancake that traditionally includes egg but doesn't need it. If you omit flour and cook it till the potato breaks down and glues together you get rösti
Douhua is a chinese style of tofu that doesn't involve draining out excess water. It is very soft, almost like a stiffer yoghurt. Often sweet it makes a delicious breakfast topped with savoury things. Although it sort of a pain in the arse to make and coagulate soymilk, hence why I usually use the Taiwanese style of acid curdled soymilk porridge. https://www.assortedeats.com/salty-soy-milk
Cooking vegan is very easy, protein is readily available in forms that meet or exceed the density found in meat such as kidney beans or TVP (defatted soy meat alternative, extremely cheap). All you need to do is eat a spread of grains and legumes (or lots of soy which is complete) but that can be in separate meals. You can even do extremely delicious junk food: https://theeburgerdude.com/
