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.

    bellyaching

    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.
