Fake vegans (sopuli.xyz)
submitted 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) by rbn@sopuli.xyz to c/yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Vegans being banned and comments being deleted from !vegan@lemmy.world 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.

Most cows on the planet are currently living in factory farms as cattle a few months away from being slaughtered.

veterinary care

Not in factory farms. Preventative antibiotics are not veterinary care.

protection from the elements

Limited protection. In summer extreme heat from being stuck inside without air conditioning.

space to graze

Not inside factory farms.

opportunities to socialize

Not inside factory farms.

so you see they do get protection from the elements

Not inside factory farms.

most dairies, even large scale dairies, have pasture. beef cattle are raised 12 to 14 months grazing before going to a feedlot. so where are all these life-long confined cattle?

Not inside factory farms.

it seems like you think cattle spend their entire lives in a cafo. they don't.

they are, and that's not all the care they get

What other care do they get?

[-] nsrxn@lemmy.dbzer0.com -1 points 2 months ago

Most cows on the planet are currently living in factory farms

care to cite this?

Good lord you argue in bad faith. One line replies of basically "no", "doubt it", "citation needed".

Like, come on man. How insufferable.

[-] nsrxn@lemmy.dbzer0.com -1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

this isn't evidence, it's a rhetorical complaint about being asked for evidence.

How isn't it evidence?

[-] nsrxn@lemmy.dbzer0.com -2 points 2 months ago

your accusation of bad faith is, itself, bad faith

US 2022:

Haven't found any numbers for other countries.

a full 1/4 of all cattle never spend more than 45 days in a cafo, but even those that do don't necessarily have the conditions you are describing, nor do they live there their entire lives

Ye Power Trippin' Bastards

749 readers
190 users here now

This is a community in the spirit of "Am I The Asshole" where people can post their own bans from lemmy or reddit or whatever and get some feedback from others whether the ban was justified or not.

Sometimes one just wants to be able to challenge the arguments some mod made and this could be the place for that.


Posting Guidelines

All posts should follow this basic structure:

  1. Which mods/admins were being Power Tripping Bastards?
  2. What sanction did they impose (e.g. community ban, instance ban, removed comment)?
  3. Provide a screenshot of the relevant modlog entry (don’t de-obfuscate mod names).
  4. Provide a screenshot and explanation of the cause of the sanction (e.g. the post/comment that was removed, or got you banned).
  5. Explain why you think its unfair and how you would like the situation to be remedied.

Rules


Expect to receive feedback about your posts, they might even be negative.

Make sure you follow this instance's code of conduct. In other words we won't allow bellyaching about being sanctioned for hate speech or bigotry.

YTPB matrix channel: For real-time discussions about bastards or to appeal mod actions in YPTB itself.


Some acronyms you might see.
