Chronicle the life and tale of the fediverse (+ matrix)
Largely a sublemmy about capturing drama, from fediverse spanning drama to just lemmy drama.
Includes lore like how a instance got it's name, how an instance got defederated, how an admin got doxxed, fedihistory etc
(New) This sub's intentions is to an archive/newspaper, as in preferably don't get into fights with each other or the ppl featured in the drama

Again, veganism isn't a diet (this is painfully easy to find out if you just quickly look it up!) and if you interpret minority in a literal sense, it's true and relevant because it's easy to be overwhelmed by the majority if you're in the minority, which is what the person posting seems to be worried about.
I understand that Veganism is more than just a diet. Its a lifestyle, culture, pledge to a certain set of morals, etc. It can be as important as religion is to a devout religious person.
A person on the Carnivore diet can make the same point. A person that subscribes to a political identity could also make your same point. This slippery slope leads to Nazis being able to call themselves minorities, because technically, Naziism is a culture, too, albeit a terrible one, and they are very thankfully in the minority of political beliefs.
The difference being that nazis actually should be overwhelmed by the majority.
It's still a CHOICE. No one is born vegan; it's a position that someone arrives at.
So is religion, theoretically at least.
I agree with you. Unfortunately, the law does not. The law privileges religion as though it was inherent and immutable.
