You know, the ones that aren’t trolls, but still wind up banned for being awful to be around

    now I agree with this a lil’, cept the “CW meat” rule showed up because a different type of weird guy started spamming pics of whole hogs being roasted lua style and albanian roasted sheep skull delicacies

    those are technically food but it’s a long way from some abstract chicken tendies smothered in cracker sauce ketchup

    That or the people who respond to every post with the same reddit brained “joke”, whether it’s an emoji or a cliche reddit type phrase

      Should have just banned the guy for being a shithead instead of playing it all psudo-legal like libs then.

      Although the way I remember it going down was slightly different than that and justified the rule.

      Basically a wrecker was successfully baiting a lot of vegans into pointless struggle sessions and had managed to get a fire going, so to speak. That is, they managed to get enough strife and drama going that if they had gone completely hands off at that point it would have taken a while to die down without intervention.

      The mods managed to shut it down by imposing the rule and banning people who refused to let the nonsense die. It only took like a day and a half and it was over, pretty impressive.

      I mean, there's definitely a line, and that was just my example. All I'm getting at is these things exist in the real world and avoiding directly discussing things really makes me feel like it's a "you know who/Voldemort" thing.

        Trigger warnings specifically have roots in mental health support groups and the point of them is not to never be exposed to a trigger. It’s to have a space where people who rarely/never feel safe specifically because they are being constantly triggered by living their daily lives are able to let down their guard and approach those issues on their own terms.

        The reality of making this a safe space for various marginalized groups is that it involves us accommodating each other. I didn’t even realize I had triggers before I started hanging out in communities like this and observing these norms (which btw this community isn’t even that strict about). It’s actually helped quite a bit to be able to get into the habit of avoiding specific topics if I’m having a bad day and I’ve managed to increase my tolerance over time to the point where I’m not triggered more than a couple times a year.

          I guess I just miss there being a space like the old sub. This is kind of where I go to spit out my poison so I don't do it to people in real life. Now that reddit shut down every leftist space, I have nowhere to get my spicy content.

            That's not a definition of food. That's a quality you'd like your food to have, but any random rock I find is cruelty free but I would not say a granite boulder is food. I am asking, if you wrote a dictionary and I flipped to the word "food," what would I find there? I'm not gonna debate any legitimate definition, I want to better understand how you see the topic
