I'm pretty it's Beaver. I'm now banned (and I appear to be blocked by Beaver as well) and I'm pretty sure the only recent direct interaction I've had with the community was downvoting the recent articles about how vegan diets are okay for carnivorous pets.

Modlog does contain the info, it's just not displayed on the website. You can get the full data from lemmy API

No, but you can bet your bottom dollar I will when I go to bed tonight.

She's eroding the credibility of the community she champions as well.

This isn't the first time a very loud minority ruined things for the rest of their collective.

There are plenty of other spaces where vegans can respond to "plants feel pain" and "but what about lions" a million times a day, but that gets old pretty quick. The goal is to have a space where vegans can just interact amongst themselves, which necessarily requires some degree of gatekeeping
