So much for "we support our vegan comrades" from what, 3 days ago

    Here's the post. Even if you frame it as "they are saying it deserves to die after this 'reactionary' struggle session", it's still an admission toward wrecking the site as it is because they're mad how things have turned out, which I would think is grounds for banning from the site as it's an attitude that could only make this continue to get worse.

    I'm trying to stay out of this struggle sesh now as I think it's run its course, but I thought I'd share the post that highlighted a lot of the discord talk that I think is rightfully concerning.

      Isn't that some kind of backwards justification for the bans then?

      They're talking like this because they're all being banned for discussing the leftist ideology they believe in on an explicitly leftist site. So to point to that frustration and go "see, they're frustrated, since they're wreckers" feels very wrong.

          They were, but in a way that made the other users angry enough to force the mods to ban them off the site.

          Or do you think they came here to pretend they care about veganism and that's what you're saying?

            No, they were spamming main with vegan struggle sessions, insulting other users by saying they arnt true leftists if they arnt vegan, calling non-vegan people names, spamming main with pictures of dog meat, drawing comparisons of the meat industry with the holocaust and slavery which they were told to stop doing because BIPOC users were uncomfortable with it, said indigenous people needed to be "reaccultured", belittled rape survivors by comparing them to cows that got artificially inseminated, and refused to stop doing any of these things so they were removed and banned.

        What? The bans almost all followed from those chats and the posting of those chats here. They start off talking about their bans from the mod chat after fighting with other mods/admins about comparing the condition of animals to slavery or the holocaust.

        Those discord chats say "well at least we killed the site", "I don't care if the site goes down", and admitting to bullying and baiting the userbase.

        I'm not sure how that doesn't constitute wrecking behavior and attitudes
