there’s more than shown here and it’s more than just these users too 😭
if you find the thread don’t piss in the popcorn (brigade) but also please maybe don’t bring it back here i don’t want 400 notifications of entry level “is almond milk milk” vegan discourse
When I was a young vegling, I spent some time doing "outreach" on r/DebateAVegan (air quotes because it often felt about as impactful as having a wank), and you'd see those bingo arguments being used earnestly ALL THE TIME.
I actually did occasionally get some fairly novel and thought provoking stuff, from time to time, but mostly it was explaining the basics of biology or econ to people like in OP's example.
My main problem is when people are aggressively trying to make me feel guilty about just living.
Just curious, does a community like that exist here on lemmy? I do have some questions that aren't answered by the vegan bingo and would love to ask someone, but going straight to [email protected] feels kinda intrusive
[email protected] specifically disallows debate style posts. Your best bet is probably either [email protected] or [email protected]
I'll say as someone who mods [email protected] that we're really not a debate community either. It's not like it's disallowed per se (especially within the context of "would two vegans be likely to agree about this?"), but I talk about some of the philosophy behind Rule 5 here and why it's therefore discouraged.
Yeah, thank you for the clarification. Re-reading my comment, I realise I didn't do a very good job of expressing this, as I didn't mean to imply V@LW was a community for debate. Just that a polite question might be fine there, so long as it comes from a genuine desire to learn, instead of trying to make an opening to disagree.
