No, not incorrect. Veganism has nothing to do with human health. Veganism is a moral philosophy. If you don’t follow that moral philosophy, you’re not a vegan. It doesn’t matter what you eat. Any other usage is at best informal and usually incorrect.
It doesn’t matter if you pay your female employees the same as men; if you don’t believe that men and women are morally equivalent, then you’re not a feminist. It doesn’t matter if you eat nothing but lettuce and bananas; if you don’t believe that unnecessary cruelty and violence to nonhuman animals is wrong, then you’re not a vegan.
Your gut feeling is not a source.
I’m about to briefly engage with your distraction tactic but don’t for a moment believe I accept it. I also don’t think that any successful refutation of anything you say will change your mind, because I think you are merely dissembling. This is truly shameful behaviour.
People who post in a /c are not the only stakeholders. There is a huge portion of users in every /c who never post, and yet who are informed on the workings of the community, and get value from the /c. There are even people who do not directly participate in the /c at all who are none the less stakeholders, like the admins and other people contributing labour and paying actual money to try to develop our broader community (in the real world sense). And finally, there are observers who are not directly affected by the situation, and yet have relevant experience to bring to bear and merely want to help.
You are trying to draw arbitrary lines so that you don’t have to deal with criticism. It’s shockingly transparent. “Your opinion doesn’t matter because you are vegan.” “Your opinion doesn’t matter because you don’t post enough.” Sir, YOUR opinion doesn’t matter, because you’re a sophist.

Suddenly this all makes sense.
I was put on methylphenidate at that age and I can never really know what the consequences are, but if I could go back and protect myself, I would throw that shit out. I’ve tried a prescription as an adult, but all I ever think about is my next dose. I can’t even manage coffee. I think being placed on stimulants for a bunch of my childhood fucked me up pretty good.
This isn’t literal popcorn that people eat at the cinema. This is metaphorical popcorn that people metaphorically eat to exalt in their schadenfreude. As you probably well grasp. It’s a metaphor that dehumanizes and humiliates the posts’ subjects, casting them not as real people with real feelings, but mere entertainment for our amusement. That’s fucking shitty.
I invite you to review the posts in this community (or have an AI comprehensively do so) and then tell me that this community does not stir drama.
Putting “drama” in the community name summons drama. It’s mean spirited. It’s always going to generate problems. It is frequently weaponized to amplify the drama in other communities. And for what?
Documenting and discussing the events of the Fediverse, and wallowing in the drama are two different things. One has societal value, and the other hurts the participants and the subjects.
In other situations, mass bans sometimes happen because it’s easier. Moderators often use custom scripts they’ve written to ease the administration burden. Personally, I don’t even provide a reason for bans, its just one more field to fill, and for the benefit of someone disruptive or acting in bad faith? Why bother.
Moderators don’t owe anyone anything. If you don’t like a mod, it costs you nothing to spin up another community. Hell, if you do it on another instance, you can even have the same name, and with crosspost merging apparently coming to this corner of fedi, it makes even less difference.
Unless that’s evasive sarcasm, I don’t know what it means.
Sunshine has an actual identity off of Lemmy. I don’t know them, but I’ve seen them elsewhere. They are by appearance a real person. Perhaps you know otherwise.
The only thing that connects Sunshine to Beaver that I know about is that one started posting (with an entirely different editorial voice) shortly after the other was harassed off the site. Perhaps you know better.
But if you don’t know otherwise and you don’t know better, I think you’re talking bullshit.
Signed: someone previously accused of being a Beaver alt, and de-modded and banned on that lie. Don’t worry, they figured it out. Figure it out.
First I would like to say that homicide or even violence are not valid expressions of antinatalism. I have to confess I share some similar views to those expressed (but apparently not fully embraced or informed by compassion) by the bomber, which makes this all the more disturbing to me. I find myself wanting to advocate, not for the bomber, but for some of his views, and that’s a hard distinction for people to make sometimes. I also want to offer people some insight into what he might have felt and thought by providing context for some of the seemingly radical things he said, because I think most people should be able to understand his point of view if they wish, whether or not they agree with it. But you might not want to relate to a terrorist, and I don’t want to engage if it makes you feel invalidated or challenged. Particularly since you may find his views to be anti-trans and dangerous.
I agree. Last year a very confused man in my community went into a gender studies class in a University and stabbed the professor and two students (all survived). My partner is transgender at another school in town and I am… weirdgender. He was not a radicalized right winger, he was just disturbed and confused, and there is just so much fucking ambient hatred, it affects people who otherwise wouldn’t even give a shit about any of it.
No, you’re not. This is from whence comes our responsibility to our children. You owe them everything because creation is such a violent, dangerous act, committed on someone without consent, with unlimited potential for consequential suffering. You’re not supposed to “forget about it” and pretend you never did that, you’re supposed to pay your fucking debt or not incur it in the first place.
And it does not matter if you create a baby or a puppy or a piglet. The animals we create are morally entitled to the exact same love and protection as our own children. People are easily able to forget all about that. And they are able to forget about their debt to their actual children just as fast. Which is why many people advocate against human reproduction. There is nothing worse to a social creature than being created when they are not wanted and loved.
Of course not. I don’t even know the discussion he’s talking about. If you look in my comment history, I have commented that pedophiles and child molesters are different populations and that using the words synonymously is ableism. That was super triggering to a lot of people.
