It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
Rooki has given up 100’s of hours of his free time to help both Lemmy.World, FHF and the Fediverse as a whole grown in far reaching ways. You don’t immediately fire your staff when they make a bad judgment call.
lol, they're not an employee, they're a just a powertripping internet janitor. I also doubt that being a mod on storm.front has been that instrumental in growing the fediverse.
They can't do anything to rooki as they need them for the totally soon sublinks replacement of lemmy.
First I've heard of sublinks.
I just checked it out and on the sublinks' site there's a link to a demo that you can view. Not only is it a Lemmy instance but it literally has a link directing people to sign up for Lemmy. You can't make this stuff up.
I vote for federating with demo.sublinks because the opportunities for causing mischief are just too good to pass up.
Yeah the demo is an old clone of world. Entire point of it is to have lemmy without those evil ml devs. because they don't want to work with the devs or learn rust
From the sidebar, it looks like they are using lemmy front end and backend is running sublinks which is compatible with lemmy v0.19.3 API.
might as well say the admin did nothing wrong, also
That being said, using facts to bully others is not in good faith either
loser talk
it's a good learning moment for the admin and team
Wait they cracked down on a vegan community for alleged animal abuse? Is that real or parody?

For saying you can get vegan cat food.
i was always under the impression that this wasn't good for cats, but then again i haven't done any research in like 20 years
The matter of pets on plant-based diets reminds me of the exact energy that the matter of trans women in women's sports has.
Opposition to it is often seen as "basic common sense" on the surface level by people who have not a single idea about the intricacies of the subject, and those who are actually willing to make a case for why such a hasty dismissal isn't as valid as others think it is get scolded and demonized simply for speaking objective, factual claims on the matter.
Cats can survive and thrive on plant-based diets, yes. No animal necessarily needs certain ingredients (such as flesh or plants) more than they need certain nutrients*. Cats need taurine, and humans can include that in plant-based cat food. I wouldn't say that the case in favor of plant-based cats is 100% conclusive, but it sure as hell is leagues more on the "in favor of it" side than what most people vehemently opposed to it are thinking that makes them rebuke positive takes on the matter without question or any degree of openness.
To defend such opposition, people will often say "Cats are obligate carnivores!" without knowing exactly what that means. "Obligate carnivore" is a term in ecology referring to animals that must eat other animals out of survival/nutrition or being unable to digest plants. Domesticated cats who live with human beings and are being fed to them manmade food constructed by the power of human technology don't have this dilemma going on.
It's often immediately painted as "animal abuse," but that's because such a narrative is pushed so hard in a "It's not up for discussion, and we don't need to hear an alternative take on this matter" type of sense.
Although special attention must be paid to ensure adequate levels of certain nutrients such as proteins, amino acids (e.g., taurine, carnitine, methionine, lysine, and tryptophan), vitamins (e.g., Vitamins A, B3, B9, and B12), minerals (e.g., calcium, iron, zinc, and copper), and certain fats [25], it is important to remember that dogs, cats—and indeed all species—require specific nutrients, rather than specific ingredients. There is—at least in theory—no reason why diets comprised entirely of plants, minerals, and synthetically-based ingredients (i.e., vegan diets) cannot meet the necessary palatability, bioavailability, and nutritional requirements of cats and dogs [25]. Indeed, a growing number of commercially-available diets [26] aim to do so.
Yeah, that makes more sense than just digging in and dying on some biological essentialism hill. For me it's just a matter of never really considering it
Same but makes sense if it's just extra vitamins added.
Can't say if the cats would enjoy eating it
Eh, my cat has never enjoyed eating her regular cat food unless I add nooch to it.
So I would just add nooch to her vegan kibbles and I'm sure she'll enjoy them.
Hard to argue that dry kibble is anything like murdering a bird sadistically and slowly for fun and eating a third of it before using the rest as a toy, but mine seem to enjoy kibble just fine so it's probably a moot point if the food is as enjoyable
That being said, using facts to bully others is not in good faith either.
Ahaha, is this why the lemmylibs think hexbear purely consists of bad faith bullies?? 
No those are misinformation facts not actual facts
Facts are only okay when they agree with my worldview when they don't it's just bullying 
In the midst of all this bullshit and frothing hatred you weird little commie gremlins are a breath of fresh air.
Good tegrity. Very adult in the room.
Yeah, you sure did it reddit.world...
I wonder if any of the lost vegans will end up over here.
Idk, lad, there are some other ones like lemmy.vg and vegantheoryclub.org that they can enter too
