An online space for the vegans of Lemmy.
Rules and miscellaneous:
- 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)
- 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
- Use content warnings and NSFW tags for triggering content
- Circlejerking belongs to /c/vegancirclejerk
- All posts should abide by Lemmy's Code of Conduct

MODERATORS
This is something meat advocates conveniently forget. With all their talk about "it's nature" or "it's just the food chain," did they not learn about trophic levels and nutrient flow in high school? Specifically the part about one layer of the trophic pyramid requiring at least an order of magnitude more biomass on the layer below? Even if we didn't care at all about ethics, the efficiency of cutting out an entire trophic level from our food chain speaks for itself. It's why we don't raise cows to farm tiger meat.

Don't give the ultra-wealthy yet more ideas on how to ruin everything!
