There are definitely more vegans on lemmy but given they are frequently targeted with harassment and trolling I doubt all of them are willing to expose themselves to such behavior.

I'm happy lemmy is flexible enough to offer spaces for all of us, assholes be damned. Thanks for offering places for people to feel comfortable!

Thanks for not fucking up the planet any faster than you have to, and for being a better person than I am.

I've almost given up meat. I don't see myself ever giving up cheese. But I appreciate you guys and what you're (not) doing.

I don't see myself ever giving up cheese.

Never say never. I thought the same for some time.

Agree with this however I'm not vegan and don't want to take underserved credit for the effort it takes to make it a permanent change.

I'm heading down the path but still have a ways to go to the destination.

If everyone made an effort we'd live in a completely different world almost over night. At least as someone who cares about sustainability side of it, that's what matters. But I appreciate that veganism consists of a bunch of different forms of arguments and motivations.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 days ago

My path to veganism has more to do with refusing to be poisoned by the corporate clowns that don't care they're killing us all with listeria and microplastics in EVERYTHING and a supply chain that I refuse to depend on.

It shouldn't be unreasonable to buy and consume healthy vegetables from a normal store but it gets harder every day. My means of survival will not be affected by recalls and cross contamination, corporate greed, or animal slavery.

IMO- Our survival will depend on our ability to take back control from companies that would sell us our doom with a shiny ribbon wrapped around it. Self-sustainable veganism is my bet for our future and I'm doing everything I can to bring it to reality as quickly as I can.

You're doing more than the vast majority of people, so this isn't supposed to be an attack but isn't it kinda selfish to still eat cheese when you, from what it seems like, understand why it's wrong? Anyway, actual cheese can already be made vegan but, at least in the EU, the company just isn't allowed to sell it because they're still waiting for approval but other companies like Rewe are also starting to invest in it, so hopefully it won't take long until it can be sold. I think they're starting to sell it outside the EU tho.

Same, and honestly, that's enough for now. It already cuts out a giant portion of the footprint and I got so many other things to worry about, I can work on finding replacement cheese that isn't a joke later.

For real. There's a significant number of downvotes on this article even. What the hell?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 days ago

Clowns doing clown things. I'd recommend an instance with downvotes disabled but it's all personal preference.

People can have more than one account, so there might be overlap between these two instances.

Also, having an account on one of these two doesn't make you a vegan, just like having an account on any other instance doesn't mean you're not a vegan.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 days ago

I’m a lurker. Vegetarian myself but my wife is vegan.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 days ago

cool. I guess I'm effectively vegan now so maybe I'll find some good recipes on here

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 days ago

If there where any more they'd have told us already.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago

I didn't get counted so I say you have 111 vegans hehe

is there any information on the User-Base by nationality?

some of us were wondering on another thread since there are so many communities in different languages, but I can't find any way to tell the ballpark nationality percentages of the users here.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

I don’t think there is as these instances haven’t done surveys on nationality as of yet.

I have seen English, French, Swedish, Portuguese, German and Vietnamese vegan communities though.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago

I'm curious, since the federation seems a lot more geographically decentralized then reddit did.
