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

I feel like "afraid" would be the wrong word, but I definitely avoid starting a talk about it. It's either immediately a heated discussion that I - obviously - initiated, just before talking bad about the other person's mother, or it's people givinge the "I don't eat that much meat anyways" talk. I'm so tired of both.
Also I feel like when people find out, many lose the ability to see beyond the label. Like I suddenly loose every bit of personality I ever had. That's why I especially avoid it in a professional environment. My boss can trust a professional, experienced worker, but can they trust a vegan? Don't wanna find out.
That is the quote of the century. As soon as people find out your affiliation to veganism everything you say or do is now wrong in their eyes.
