Vegans being banned and comments being deleted from [email protected] for being fake vegans.
From my perspective, the comments were in no way insulting and just part of completely normal interaction. If this decision reflects the general opinion of the mod team, then from my perspective, the biggest vegan community on Lemmy wants to be an elitist cycle of hardcore vegans only, not allowing any slightly different opinion. Which would be very unfortunate.
PS: In contrast to the name of this community, I don’t want to insult anyone here being a ‘bastard’. I just want to post this somewhere on neutral ground. I would really appreciate an open discussion without bashing anyone.

I see what you did there :)
wow, the power tripping mods removed my comment… i guess they like irony
I removed your comment because it’s out of topic and it’s bringing up a completely other drama to spike controversy. I.e. you’re trolling.
While we’re on the topic of modding in this thread, GrammarPolice got banned, but it doesn’t look like the comment that they were banned for has been removed. Is this intentional?
If there’s a good-faith counter-aguments already on that thread and might leave the originating comment up so that their effort is not lost.
I was talking specifically about the giant ascii art with a profane curse as the only text.
But I just had a look and it seems like it was removed, but that the removal hasn’t federated to my instance properly. Dammit, I thought the recent update had fixed LW’s federation problems.
Ah yeah, the federation of this stuff is kinda weird. Maybe it’s because I removed it after I banned them.
you’re insane… that was completely on topic and i wasn’t “trolling”, i was discussing
and you’re completely power tripping to remove that.
You were off-topic and trolling. You were not discussing, you were bellyaching and bringing up another drama-laden topic that has been discussed to death and had multiple threads about it locked in this very comm. Now stop whinging and touch grass ffs. I just removed one of your comments. didn’t even ban you.
i’m talking about the overarching motivation of concern trolling vs simple power tripping, because of the vegan “modding”. my “belly” is not aching and that original discussion didn’t even involve me.
i’m not trolling, i think the dragonfucker is a perfect example of concern trolling… and i suspect a similar motivation to that is what motivated the vegan mods…. it’s a entirely topical, and you’re power tripping to just unilaterally remove that with no discussion.
it’s called “comparing”, and something people often do when talking about a topic
No, you started the drag discussion all over again and I don’t want every fucking topic in PTB to be about that person and the neopronoun discussion. Use a different comparison next time. I’m sure you can do it, I believe in you.
i haven’t seen any other posts about them, and that was just a side example and extremely absurd case of concern trolling… dragon was a side point….
and hey, maybe you keep seeing because it’s a particularly egregious example of mods power tripping and completely expectable given the topic of this comm
You didn’t see it, but, surprise surprise, we might know something you don’t since we’re moderating all of this shite. Maybe take a hint.
In any case, that drama was off-topic, doesn’t seem like powertripping to remove it.
it wasn’t at all off topic, it was exactly on topic
