This is a community for vegans by vegans. Its aim is to enable discussions about veganism first and foremost. We don’t owe it to carnists to let them come here and walk all over our values just because they feel offended by our existence. This place is meant to be a safe space that is welcoming and kind.

After several incidents of brigrading by carnists and at the request of community members, I (and others on the mod team) have decided to be more strict in enforcing the rules here and ensure that the conversation isn’t overrun by anti-vegans.

I’ve cleaned up the rules a bit and made it a bit shorter, I’d like feedback on that (also any mods feel free to change them up, it’s more of a draft lol). I’ve also started following up by looking at the modlog and banning repeat offenders.

We also have new mods and I am sure that there would be room for others once we organise what we have currently. If you want to help now, please report comments/posts especially the ones that make the community unsafe for vegans.

I’m committed to making this place much less hostile, but oh my, some of these posts really do blow up at the worst of times.

Please, please, please be kind, not just to other humans and yourself, but to all the earthlings ✌️

    Thanks for this! I am glad to not have seen too much brigading but appreciate that this will help keep it that way

    You know it’s funny that posted a single comment which wasn’t harmful but got banned (perhaps temporarily) for it and accused of being a carnist.

        Ah! I see! Lemmy is whacky like that isn’t it? There’s like twenty of each community.

        Thanks for clearing that up.

            Yes. Imagine if there were 3 different versions of each country.

            I think there’s a good novel in that idea somewhere.
