(posting to both communities)

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.

Meatsplained? Sucks you guys lost your community, but that is one of the dumbest words I've ever had the privilege of reading.

    Was this some dumbass saying dogs and cats can be fine with a vegan diet? Because that is 100% Grade A bullshit and the admin's actions were justified.

    Feed your pets their fucking meat for God's sake.

    For what it worth, the mods at vegan community are also deleting comment disagreeing with their point of view. It's 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 it's ironic that the mod also did the exact same thing they accuse rooki for. Lesson here is, don't fucking abuse power based on your emotion and then whine about it after losing that privilege. It's a very highschool drama this one is.

    Every vegan community I’ve 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’s a bold strategy Cotton

    I'm just surprised how many people think veganism and 'owning' a pet are reproachable. Imho they are not

    On top of that if you do 'own' an animal, why do you let your own philosophy trump their joy and wellbeing.

    Afaik cats and dogs couldn't be happier with a meaty treat. Why disallow that?

    Honestly, the admin that did this is based. The vegans on Lemmy give me the same vibes as the grifters that pedal homeopathy.

    I think I trust Kitten Lady over a bunch of randos on the Threadiverse. Video

    gerbils, mice and bunbuns are herbivores, and need homes too. They‘d make great vegan buddies

    I watched your video, and she makes a number of logical errors. She correctly identifies that cats need diets that are nutritionally complete, but then jumps to the conclusion that cats need to eat meat. They don't. They need to consume the nutrients that have traditionally been found in meat. She overlooks that vegan cat foods are specifically designed to contain all these nutrients, thus making them nutritionally complete.

    While I generally agree that vegans shouldn't adopt cats if possible, Kitten Lady seems to be talking out of her ass.

    It's so funny that they're the largest instance. Only see incredible decisions coming out of there.
