*please note i deeply value and respect the vegan movement. i am just critical of how humorously it precipitates in online spaces, particularly this one. :)

Reddit had some vegan communities that were about recipes and food-porn shots without constantly talking shit about people who ever eat anything non-vegan.

Lemmy... has some vegan communities.

You're not kidding. The ones on here go out of their way to make sure non vegans never turn vegan.

They seem to think that if you don't immediately go vegan you're trash, instead of helping slowly push people in that direction.

I'm not a vegetarian but my culture has a ton of great vegetarian options. I give these recipes to friends after they have them at my place. This is a good first step to get people to eat less meat. Just make good food that happens to not have meat. Baby steps. I would say about a third of my meals are vegetarian at this point.
