A few weeks ago when there were a bunch of Bluesky users joining, several of them were whining about the CW rule for animal products and decided not to make an account solely based on that. This really is the only place that isn't hostile to veganism by default.
Those were made for real? I thought they were a meme or something Making fun of veganism.
I'm so used to communities being anti-vegan when I finally found one that was supportive. I didn't even consider it.
Even though I thought they were making fun of vegans or something, I still found the content warnings very helpful. Thank you everyone for using them.
Nah, they're real. They were instated a few years ago as a compromise with vegan users moving here from 
I didn't even notice any new wave of Bluesky users. What happened? Haha
It was maybe a dozen people is all, but they started posting in /c/introductions because there was a well known transphobe on Bluesky who kept having his bans reversed.
Ah! I just realized I wasn't subscribed to that community, no wonder I didn't notice anything. Thanks!
Even saw people claiming eating ground beef diets cured their depression
Explaining antidepressants to amerikans: imagine a burger
how do you know someone is a carnist? dont worry they'll definitely let you know
btw
. This community has become my norm, such that I'm not able to tolerate pics of dead animals or hanging around normies grilling a dead fish.
On the other end of it, I was never the kind of person to put pronouns in my name in 2019. And there was a bit of transphobia I had to (probably still need to) work on. And now some of the best comrades are queer and trans people.
Again going back to 2019, if someone made a comment shitting on men or white people, I'd probably get a bit defensive. Now I'm unironically the most self hating white dude I know IRL. I've read a heap of theory since then, and I'm much better on anti-settler and anti-patriarchy thinking.
I actually don't want to make my veganism the centre of everything. Other battles are important. I personally don't have the energy to attack carnist users here all the time. And for selfish reasons, veganism as a sole issue just gets boring; communism and the issues that surround it are more intellectually interesting.
I'm kinda rambling. Just want to say that I appreciate this place.
just wanna say I love this community and how welcoming it is towards veganism, it’s a breath of fresh air every day here
It wasn't always, the pro-veganism bent was won with countless struggle sessions. I was here 3 or 4 years ago on a different account when there was a huge push against vegans. Many good comrades swore off the site back then due to that shitty reaction.
The seventh day Adventist bit is funny as fuck, they're not even vegan. They are vegetarian tho, and have a wholly-owned (and therefore fully tax-exempt!) vegetarian food brand in Australia and New Zealand. That's fairly well-known in .au, so I guess someone heard part of a story and ran with it.
It's been depressing to see how many carnivore diet grifters there are now in the longcovid sub that I lurk in.
I see lots of anti vegan stuff over various other social media’s. Don’t get the obsession me…I do me, you do you.
