An online space for the vegans of Lemmy.
Rules and miscellaneous:
- We take for granted that if you engage in this community, you understand that veganism is about the animals. You either are vegan for the animals, or you are not (this is not to say that discussions about climate/environment/health are not allowed, of course)
- No omni/carnist apologists. This is not a place where to ask to be hand-holded into veganims. Omnis coddling/backpatting is not tolerated, nor are /r/DebateAVegan-like threads
- Use content warnings and NSFW tags for triggering content
- Circlejerking belongs to /c/vegancirclejerk
- All posts should abide by Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I wish carnists would stop brigading vegan spaces. The downvotes are fucked up.
They probably saw this in the /all feed and, like the hospital staff, were compelled to lash out at us. Downvoting us is a cope.
I'm vegetarian, but still downvoted most of OP's comments. They're being unfairly aggressive in almost all of their replies.
If you read ops responses, they're being abusive to people. That's why I'm down voting op.
I don't think there is a conspiracy honestly. OP's just treating a lot of people badly, and it's not normal to be calling people dickwads or whatever.
They even write in their post they were irritable, which suggests they were possibly treating the staff poorly too
Sounds like tone policing is another cope.
I've read their responses and they've been perfectly reasonable, especially considering the fact that they're being mistreated in the hospital and don't have anything to eat.
And, conspiracy? You don't think hospital staff who perceive that they are being treated poorly might decide to treat OP poorly in retaliation?
Including where op called someone a dickwad? That's not normal behavior, and I get the impression based on a few responses here, that op probably doesn't treat people around them that great either
No, I don't think in retaliation. I meant the conspiracy that it's getting downvoted simply because it's a vegan post. I can't speak for others, but i think op isn't being upfront
Again, I've seen lots of red flags including the "irritable" comment. What does that mean? It doesn't mean they acted respectfully.
The fact op immediately thinks they're being downvoted too simply because they're vegan also probably doesn't win people over. It also doesn't help they're attacking non vegan people too.
I think op would get a lot of upvotes, if they stopped abusing people and acted more respectfully towards people.
They're brigading this post hard. I'm gonna commit the heinous act of eating a banana (which I thankfully got yesterday). 🍌
Im really thankful for you being here. 🥺 I am literally too vulnerable for this crap.
