(posting to both communities)
A carnist lemmy world instance admin has stepped in and meatsplained to the mods while restoring comments that violated the community's rules. They deleted comments that they did not agree with, citing 'misinformation', and threatened to demod the mods if those comments were removed again. The comments were deleted and the admin was banned from the community as per violating the rules of the community, that was until they unbanned themselves (admin abuse) and unmodded two of the moderators because of "promoting harmfull actions against pets".
As far as it stands, if the lemmy world community wasn't already not a safe vegan place for you (it really wasn't) it most certainly isn't now as carnists (lemmy world instance admin) currently mod it.
I suggest any vegan who wants a safe and welcoming space to come and interact with vegantheoryclub.org. Sorry for any inconvienance that this may have caused. I am deeply upset at the admins actions today and don't condone them whatsoever.
We stand in solidarity with our comrades in vegantheoryclub.org and vegan@lemmy.world. Fuck the (probably rich) shitlibs that run Lemmy World. You all are also always welcome at vegan@hexbear.net. We have no tolerance for carnists of any stripe.
Vegan theory club is also planning to defederate from world because of the concentration of hitler particles and a recent carnist raid on the discord
Hells ya. We were lucky to get defederated from the beginning. It's the worth part of Reddit just left only because of the mod tools and nothing else.
I had already added !vegan@hexbear.net to the sidebar of the lemmyworld community a while back, but I just added a link to it on this community's sidebar as it was absent. This community and the one on hexbear are the only two vegan places I can recommend on lemmy right now.
Thanks for that. Not everyone on Hexbear is perfectly vegan, but there's a hard no fucking with the vegans, even outside the vegan community rule. It's explicit that leftists should aspire to be vegan. We're not perfect, but we're the best not full vegan community I've been part of.
Yeh, I've read your CoC.
Animal Liberation is essential to any leftist movement, including platforms like Hexbear. Volunteers, comments, and posts, should not be anti-vegan, although users and volunteers are not required to be vegan.
I think it's a good rule to have
As well as
Any pictures of food containing animal products, including but not limited to meat, cheese, or egg, must be tagged nsfw along with food discussion content warnings (CW: Food).
Our vegan community isn't that active, but it has great moderation.
I'd also like to keep !vegan@lemmy.ml a carnist/pickme-free space. It's not very active either, and I'll def encourage ppl to use your instance as it's a vegan controlled space, but we gotta do our best.
Vegans and animal comrades of the world unite!
Absolute shithole of a site. I'm not surprised that this happened, but still kind of wonder why. Is it just ”
boohoo, you're being mean to the carnists”?
Clown 🤡 but we're the vegans trying to indoctrinate people into our cult and force our beliefs onto others
It was always projection with meat eaters as they often have double standards with vegans and then play as dirty as possible to get their ways.
I heard the sirens calling a kilometre away considering many carnist comments were coming from lw. They want to silence us vegans and violate our human rights.
The lemmy.world and lemmy.ca admins are poor stewards of the lemmy federation and are not making decisions I align with. Lemmy.world is simply too big and its gravity threatens the overall health of the eco system. The lemmy.ca admins host reddit tier drama nonsense and are poorly gatekeeping their users. Removing both of these from federation on this server has really improved my experience.
