the very serious adult with very real adult problems just cant stop throwing a fit due to the existence of a rule they dont agree with on a subforum :very-smart:
I never pay attention to what /c/ it is, just what's on front page, it's not like that. This is a mostly dead sub too so I think it's reasonable for rando's to find themselves stepping in shit.
They're not "defending" anyone. What was the egregious, cruel thing said to their comrade that required them to so valiantly step in?
"and yet you’re here in the vegan comm doing exactly what the post is talking about"
What a horrible (yet accurate) thing to say to someone. It must be defended against.
I'm also not just going to take someones word for it that they're not a carnist when they're saying all the things a typical carnist would and shitting all over the vegan comm with stuff like
Wah my dead subreddit you live for this interaction thats all this sub is thats all this op ever was
They started off pissy and immature because they didn't like the miniscule pushback a nonvegan got for doing what they post is talking about. Booty is completely justified for being angry. If you don't see why they're being a troll then you're either choosing not to see it or you haven't been witness to how trolls on the internet behave, which I find hard to believe.
I don't assume the worst of my comrades, I take a look at a person's behavior and judge accordingly. And I don't think this troll is a vegan comrade for the same reason I wouldn't think someone who claims to be a communist but comes on hexbear and picks fights defending neoliberalism in the exact same tired ways that outright neolibs do.
Maybe don't assume the best of people who claim to be your comrade but then act like an anticommunist from now on.
When both sides of a conversation are being inflammatory but only one of the sides is correct, I take the side of the one who is correct. Carnists aren't allowed in this community, carnist apologists aren't allowed in this community. So when a carnist apologist comes here and starts shitflinging, the vegan flinging shit back at them is 100% in the right.
Firstly, all comms are basically dead. Only posts in 2-3 comms get any attention (dunk tank, cth, news) and that’s because they lack any identity of their own and are just discount main.
Secondly, you should read the rules to the comm before you post/comment there.
Thirdly, c/vegan is a a special place. It’s a relic of a bygone era, when Hexbear tried to open its doors to another subreddit it felt was going through tough times (like CTH did). This was VCJ. There was a moment when the Founders of Hexbear thought this place could be more than just for shitposts. It could be a place where all manner of (left-leaning) subreddits that were being threatened could reside peacefully. There was a hope that this would make us into a true force of leftism online (important because the Founders wanted us to do actual activism).
None of that happened. With just the first of such migrations, Hexbear fell into severe disarray. The new arrivals and the old settlers fought bitterly for days until there was a forceful and messy divorce. Most of VCJ left and with them left the dream for a better Hexbear.
People here celebrated, thinking they’d won something, not realising that even if they’d won this battle, all they’d secured was an ever darkening future. Since then, more and more people have left, shuttering entire comms that now lay abandoned without a single post for months.
All who are left just huddle together, stoking the flames of this dying site with dunks and bitter struggle sessions.
VCJ is not the only time HB tried bringing in another leftist community. This happened to multiple other communities when they tried to join. HB users have repeatedly abused and harassed new communities until they gave up and left. VCJ is simply the last community that tried, bc who would try again after that?

Motherfucker you are posting in !vegan@hexbear.net you're the one seeking attention :bird-screm-2:
I never pay attention to what /c/ it is, just what's on front page, it's not like that. This is a mostly dead sub too so I think it's reasonable for rando's to find themselves stepping in shit.
Well, you fucking should. Different comms have different rules

I didn't know all of that, shame to say I really like this website most of the time as it is.
Then stop going its comms and being a petty, hostile troll?
