I’m searching for boots similar to these but vegan for obvious reasons. I love boots but haven’t had them for years because I couldn’t find any cool-looking.

    Animal parts have utility. So we use them. You’re crazy to think otherwise.

      I just hope you’re not like that in real life or otherwise have no friends bro. That thinking is so wrong. What do you even do in the vegan lemmy community with that thinking? 🤮 Where do we get as a society with people like you? It’s not even an option for me to use real leather! It doesn’t come to my mind! So don’t bring it up here. I asked for VEGAN boots! Lots of people suggested nice looking boots (thanks) and as they are sold, there is a demand for vegan boots. Also, I hope that most people buying boots with animal-leather just don’t know and need to be shown a brutal video to understand what’s actually on their feet.

        I don’t know if they can see your response because I temp (don’t know how to infinitely) banned them a few hours ago. Idk what the deal is with people coming in here feeling the need to be like that and say that, but at least they’re not going to be coming back soon

            Np. The owner of this community and I are looking for people to help moderate btw. If you’re willing to help out and be able to step in when someone like that comes in that would be excellent and most appreciated :)

            You don’t have to ofc, but you seem to be able to handle those kinds of people with patience and dignity and I would be more than willing to add you as a mod. You can also submit “reports” that I am able to see and action off, that would be really helpful as it took some time for me to see just how many comments that person left after I moved on from the post.

            Also, anyone else reading, you are more than welcome to apply to help by dming the owner or I. Much appreciated!

              I’d be willing to do it but need to look into how lemmy moderation works. I guess there must be some kind of admin panel to view reported comments? I’ve been in the support team from vtlog.net so I know how to handle angry people complaining about sth not working but this would be a new challenge! I’m free this week, but I’m of course working so moderating couldn’t happen all day but only in the afternoons and on the weekends.

                Yep there’s a report panel, but nobody has sent a report since I became a mod lol

                So the comment threads can get very long before I see them and by then I am less willing to delete an entire thread because there are usually really good replies that I want to stay there. Banning is still on the table though

                  I get that! I’ve never reported comments on here because I love open discussions as long as it’s on-topic and based on facts I don’t see a reason to report stuff. And seeing a mod in my thread means they already read it so no need to report :)
