Welcome to the Vegan Theory Club Weekly Megathread!
We’re kicking things off with a space just for vegans! Inspired by our friends over at Hexbear, this thread is the spot to chat about what’s on your mind, what’s happening, and what you’re planning for the week.
Feel free to talk about anything, whether it’s vegan-related or not. This is a chill space for connecting, sharing ideas, and supporting each other.
Looking forward to hearing what everyone’s up to!
Got any ideas?
We’re also taking suggestions for essay topics, recommended readings, or any resources that could help each other out. Feel free to drop in links, ask for advice, or contribute any other materials you think would be useful for the community and we can start adding to the megathread.
Looking forward to hearing what everyone’s up to and what we can explore together!
Check out our communities:
The communities are here to help share links and photos for vegans by vegans.
Vegan Home Cooks is a site for a discord server called Vegan Home Cooks Discord. This is a low-friction post-what-you-cooked community so we can share what we made today and talk about it, no recipes required. We want to provide motivation and encouragement for each other and show off what we made today.
Vegan Recipes is focused on how to cook and links to recipe sites.
Gardening is focused on our gardens, plants, hydroponics and learning how to do it. Some of us are pros and some are just learning and want to post what we're reading and what we're doing.
Vegan is for general vegan news
Vegan Infographics for vegan infographics and agitprop
Art All things art, preferably by vegans but not required.
Book Club Our sort of monthly book club, we finished reading Fanon but never had our final post. We're going to get that going and do fiction for September/October. Also post about whatever you are reading!
DIY Do it yourself! This is a community to fix our shit.
Our communities are federated with various other servers running software called Lemmy. If you have an account on one of those servers you can still subscribe to our communities from your home server and participate. If you create an account with us you can also view other federated communities across multiple Lemmy servers we are linked up with.
Thanks for visiting our site!
I'm finding the lemmy users who leave shitty comments and argumentative bullshit more and more tiring.
I'm smoking weed about it.
I blocked them aggressively when I was on .ml. Or mildly goaded a few of them into flying off the handle so I could report them under civility rules. It doesn't usually take much. Seems like vegans on Lemmy have been a growing target lately.
I had an account on .world a long while ago now and pissing off the anti-vegan trolls was something I occasionally loved to indulge in.
I considered it an "everyone wins" situation: I get to have a laugh, the trolls get to interact with another person (unlike the real world) and a lot of the bystanders get to see just how pathetic they are.
That said I understand how it gets old fairly quickly when you have to constantly deal with that shit as a mod on a vegan community. I'm genuinely grateful to hamid, Potato, and the other mods/admins here for not only setting this place up but taking care of it, and it genuinely sucks that there's a loud group of people who really can't take ten seconds to read the sideboard so they don't constantly break rules, or are just flat out here to troll.
I'll be honest even if only 3 people use this server and enjoy it I think its money well spent.
Even without Lemmy World the debbie downers find their way over. I hope it's not too much to manage recently.
I have put my lemm.ee account on pause again. Might take it up again but the willfull ignorance & unearned smugness combo gets to one.
