Lemmy world vegan community - hostile takeover

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/26218550

(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.

Rules

The rules are subject to change, especially upon community feedback.

Discrimination is not tolerated. This includes speciesism.

Topics not relating to veganism are subject to removal.

Posts are to be as accessible as practicable:

embedded images of text require alt-text
posts with an image of text should have a transcription in the body or alt-text
paywalled articles must have an accessible non-paywalled link;
use the original source whenever possible for a news article.

Content warnings are required for triggering content.

Bad-faith carnist rhetoric & anti-veganism are not allowed, as this is not a space to debate the merits of veganism. Anyone is welcome here, however, and so good-faith efforts to ask questions about veganism may be given their own weekly stickied post in the future.

before jumping into the community, we encourage you to read examples of common fallacies here.
if you’re asking questions about veganism, be mindful that the person on the other end is trying to be helpful by answering you and treat them with at least as much respect as they give you.

Posts and comments whose contents – text, images, etc. – are largely created by a generative AI model are subject to removal. We want you to be a part of the vegan community, not a multi-head attention layer running on a server farm.

No brigading, either off-site or on-site. An incitement to brigade includes two elements: a call to disruptive action and a specific direction outside of this community in which to take that action. Exceptions include:

Calls to boycott.
Calls to in-person protest of a government, high-profile individual, or company/organization.
Votes provided they have a sufficiently broad target audience or provably effective controls against vote brigading.
Petitions.

All Lemmy.World Terms of Service also apply.

Cheers, being a mod sucks. It’s mostly reading vitriol, removing it, and then having creeps show up in your messages with vague threats or claims about how you’re a megalomaniac.
