Fake vegans - Sopuli

Vegans being banned and comments being deleted from [email protected] [/c/[email protected]] [https://lemmy.world/c/vegan] 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.

Knee-jerk reactionary vegans? In a vegan community?

You don’t say!

Show threadxorJan 11, 2025
i swear a lot of these are plants… the way to degrade leftist online spaces is to just be so extreme it’s absurd and everyone feels outcast….
of course first they grow their little sub until it’s the biggest one, and then they start pissing everyone of as much as possible by being so much more communist, trans, vegan, whatever….
then you walk away feeling disconnected from vegans….
like did you see the person with “dragonfucker” as their preferred pronoun? a bunch of people got banned for saying it’s obviously concern trolling and nobody’s gender is actually “dragonfucker”…. for gatekeeping or some dumb shit…
how are these established mods with huge communities? they must’ve taken over or been fake in the beginning…

wow, the power tripping mods removed my comment… i guess they like irony
Show threaddb0Jan 11, 2025
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.
Show threadxorJan 11, 2025
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.

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.
Show threadxorJan 11, 2025
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.
Show threadxorJan 11, 2025
surprise surprise, people are talking about power tripping mods on this sub!
this community is literally about that type of “drama”
