Fake vegans - Aussie Zone

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.

Rules

Post only about bans or other sanctions from mod(s).

Provide the cause of the sanction (e.g. the text of the comment).

Provide the reason given by the mods for the sanction.

Don’t use private communications to prove your point. We can’t verify them and they can be faked easily.

Don’t deobfuscate mod names from the modlog with admin powers.

Don’t harass mods or brigade comms. Don’t word your posts in a way that would trigger such harassment and brigades.

Do not downvote posts if you think they deserved it. Use the comment votes (see below) for that.

You can post about power trippin’ in any social media, not just lemmy. Feel free to post about reddit or a forum etc.

Expect to receive feedback about your posts, they might even be negative.

Make sure you follow this instance’s code of conduct. In other words we won’t allow bellyaching about being sanctioned for hate speech or bigotry.

Some acronyms you might see.

PTB - Power-Tripping Bastard: The commenter agrees with you this was a PTB mod.

YDI - You Deserved It: The commenter thinks you deserved that mod action.

BPR - Bait-Provoked Reaction: That mod probably overreacted in charged situation, or due to being baited.

CLM - Clueless mod: The mod probably just doesn’t understand how their software works.

Maybe what they want is to be left alone in peace?

Right now they’re getting shit on specifically because they can’t even stay in peace among themselves. This is about one small group of vegans abusing their powers to stop respectful discussion among and between vegans.
