(posting to both communities)

A carnist lemmy world instance admin has stepped in and meatsplained to the mods while restoring comments that violated the community's rules. They deleted comments that they did not agree with, citing 'misinformation', and threatened to demod the mods if those comments were removed again. The comments were deleted and the admin was banned from the community as per violating the rules of the community, that was until they unbanned themselves (admin abuse) and unmodded two of the moderators because of "promoting harmfull actions against pets".

As far as it stands, if the lemmy world community wasn't already not a safe vegan place for you (it really wasn't) it most certainly isn't now as carnists (lemmy world instance admin) currently mod it.

I suggest any vegan who wants a safe and welcoming space to come and interact with vegantheoryclub.org. Sorry for any inconvienance that this may have caused. I am deeply upset at the admins actions today and don't condone them whatsoever.

If you need a vegan pet get a bunny, lol.

Not feeding dogs and cats with meat-based food is cruel af.

Seeing vegans and the Lemmy.World admin team fighting... yes, let the hate flow through you and destroy each other.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Well for us vegans we're fighting for love. The animals deserve to be protected.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago

Then feed them a proper diet. If you love animals, treat them well and don't fight for your right to spread disinformation that harms them

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

not a vegan but you should be able to have your own space.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Nobody should have a space where they get to spread disinformation that harms pets

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

yeah because they're such cruel fucking people, those heartless vegans abusing animals lol...

look man, I get it, you have bones with the veggies and the vegans and THIS IS THE ONE PLACE where you can get some kind of moral high ground on 'em, and you really want to rub it in their faces at every opportunity.

I don't know who those vegans even are, the vast, vast majority of vegans I know are pet owners who feed their cats and their dogs kibble. None of them are trying to 'convert' their pets, and none of them look at pet ownership as 'the enslavement of an animal for the purposes of ownership'.

all y'all need to fucking calm yoselfs. jfc, get a grip.

They are literally spreading disinformation. Vegan cat food isn't good for cats. They are abusing their cats if they feed them that. Tf is your point?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

you are literally hyperventilating over this.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago

It's kind of a huge deal if the mods of a community are working to promote disinformation that harms cats and censoring any dissenting opinion about it. I'd rather cats not be malnourished bc of a bunch of pissy vegans who want to force their ideology onto an animal that can't handle it

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I'm just surprised how many people think veganism and 'owning' a pet are reproachable. Imho they are not

On top of that if you do 'own' an animal, why do you let your own philosophy trump their joy and wellbeing.

Afaik cats and dogs couldn't be happier with a meaty treat. Why disallow that?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Pets are not vegan in the first place but only 5% of vegans will admit that.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I literally banned the lemmy world instance admin for saying otherwise, but they reversed it. "Owning" another animal is not vegan and is speciesist. I've only seen carnists go on about "vegan pet ownership".

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago

Animals belong in the wild in the vegan world.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago

Honestly, the admin that did this is based. The vegans on Lemmy give me the same vibes as the grifters that pedal homeopathy.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

lmao at all the carnists in this thread scrambling to justify animal abuse so they can still feel like a good person

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Not feeding cats and dogs meat is animal abuse.

Eating cows is not.

Thanks for listening to my TED talk.

Well I don't deny my dogs meat, so I'm not sure what you're on about. Every week, I adopt a dog from the local shelter, kill it, butcher it, put it in the freezer, and serve my dogs their daily food from that. I'm not denying animals food at all. So what the hell is your problem with that?
