The constant harassment and abuse from speciesist reactionaries is what drove us off. But mentioning that part would ruin the narrative that vegans are the bad guys

My favorite part is the unrelenting narrative building of vegans as problematic and dramatic, and if we try to counter that, you all pour into a comm where you're explicitly not allowed to post to put us in our place. God forbid we ever once speak up when y'all shit talk us
the problem is hexbear.net shows "all" by default, not "subscribed". carnists aren't subscribed and don't realize that this sub has rules
Yeah, then you tell them the rules and they dgaf bc they prefer to harass us
Well yeah but the easiest solution would be to prevent oblivious carnists from coming here in the first place. It gives them a chance to learn, which is good, but I have little appetite to teach them.
Hard to teach anyone obstinately opposed to learning
hexbear.net don't ostracize and harass a minority group for standing up for themselves, regardless of comm rules, challenge: impossible
The problem is that carnists refuse to adapt.
I'm not big on that individual responsibility shit. Let's get an easy structural fix: make it show "subscribed" by default when you're logged in.
how about just removing reactionaries from this site?
you let me know once you figure out how to purge nonvegans from hexbear. In the meantime this UI change is so obvious that I think it counts as a bug. Frustrating to get this amount of pushback from other vegans.
well there are a bunch of them shitting up this thread as we speak. turn those comment removals into bans. it's not hard.
Sounds like just hiding to me
I can fight with carnists anywhere on the internet, I want /c/vegan to be a space for us.
