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.

    I don’t eat those. You have to imprison and exploit chickens and bees for those 2 things. Pollination is no way comparable.

    Veganic farms don’t use bees and if they’re there it’s because they’re interested in some flowers or scent.

      That’s hilarious, especially when referring to bees

      Pollination is no way comparable.

      Pollination is not comparable to honey production? Oh boy, I may have a news for you.

      if they’re there it’s because they’re interested in some flowers or scent.

      Yup, just like anywhere else. Chickens are interested in being fed and have a night time shelter where they be safe.

        Great now you’re grasping at straws. Arguing in bad faith.

        Bees aren’t murdered or starved for pollination that’s what happens under honey production by bee enslavers.

        Laying eggs is a painful experience for hens and people who sell their eggs prioritize the production output over the living environment for the chickens.

          That’s what you are doing with your argument that pollination by bees is somehow different.

          bee enslavers.

          🤣🤣🤣

          Laying eggs is a painful experience for hens

          How do you know that, exactly? Any evidence?

          people who sell their eggs prioritize the production output over the living environment for the chickens.

          And yet I somehow don’t see plenty of free roaming chickens living around. Have you ever considered why?
