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.

    It’s funny though

    Look, sometimes we make jokes at the expense of others. Don’t say you don’t because we all have and do, all the time. Stop shaming someone just because they made a joke. Have a sense of humor, understand that sometimes it’s funny to laught about going to hell. A jest here and there is perfectly fine. Also, it’s not like this person was Gandhi, they deserve some jest

      Making a joke about someone you don’t regularly interact with even on a forum seems to be laughing about them rather than with them.
