An online space for the vegans of Lemmy.

Rules and miscellaneous:

  1. We take for granted that if you engage in this community, you understand that veganism is about the animals. You either are vegan for the animals, or you are not (this is not to say that discussions about climate/environment/health are not allowed, of course)
  2. No omni/carnist apologists. This is not a place where to ask to be hand-holded into veganims. Omnis coddling/backpatting is not tolerated, nor are /r/DebateAVegan-like threads
  3. Use content warnings and NSFW tags for triggering content
  4. Circlejerking belongs to /c/vegancirclejerk
  5. All posts should abide by Lemmy's Code of Conduct

What can we do to prevent this? There aren't that many of us, and posts being hidden can really hinder our discussions.

Coming at this question as a member of Lemmy-at-large, and neither a vegan nor a member of your community:

(1). As your community gets larger and more active, more people will choose to block your community rather than downvote everything from it. Also, with more members their downvotes will matter less.

(2). Move your community to a different instance that is more favorable towards Veganism, such as Slrpnk or Hexbear, or self-host. Some of these instances even turn off downvotes.
