I MUST GO TO THE SKATEBOARD PARK AND TELL PEOPLE TO STOP HAVING FUN.
One thing is for sure, emotional means bad and must be dismissed.
I'm finding the lemmy users who leave shitty comments and argumentative bullshit more and more tiring.
Even without Lemmy World the debbie downers find their way over. I hope it's not too much to manage recently.
I blocked them aggressively when I was on .ml. Or mildly goaded a few of them into flying off the handle so I could report them under civility rules. It doesn't usually take much. Seems like vegans on Lemmy have been a growing target lately.
I had an account on .world a long while ago now and pissing off the anti-vegan trolls was something I occasionally loved to indulge in.
I considered it an "everyone wins" situation: I get to have a laugh, the trolls get to interact with another person (unlike the real world) and a lot of the bystanders get to see just how pathetic they are.
That said I understand how it gets old fairly quickly when you have to constantly deal with that shit as a mod on a vegan community. I'm genuinely grateful to hamid, Potato, and the other mods/admins here for not only setting this place up but taking care of it, and it genuinely sucks that there's a loud group of people who really can't take ten seconds to read the sideboard so they don't constantly break rules, or are just flat out here to troll.
I'll be honest even if only 3 people use this server and enjoy it I think its money well spent.
There was one user in some of the LW posts that blew up recently who was so annoyingly wrong in the most pedantic manner, but they were also prolific. It's exhausting disproving wave after wave of BS. It always takes more effort to show why something makes no sense than to say something that makes no sense.
I have put my lemm.ee account on pause again. Might take it up again but the willfull ignorance & unearned smugness combo gets to one.
I'm smoking weed about it.
Probably more constructive than engaging with them tbh
On the post image, Knowing Animals Podcast: Episode 58: Animal Rights in Palestine and Israel with Esther Alloun
This episode of Knowing Animals features Esther Alloun from the University of Wollongong. We discuss her article ‘’That’s the beauty of it, it’s very simple!’ Animal rights and settler colonialism in Palestine–Israel’ which appeared in the journal Settler Colonial Studies in December 2017.
Thanks for sharing this, I just ripped the image haha
This isn't vegan related but was wondering if anyone here has read "A History of Modern Iran" by Ervand Abrahamian and could share some thoughts on it? Saw this book get recommended over on Lemmygrad a while ago and have read the first couple of chapters so far.
I would love to read it and will get a copy and host it on the veganhomecooks nextcloud for us at c/bookclub
we were doing monthly books but I think I want to change it around
Down with carnists!
Autumn is starting where I live. It sucks, my least favorite part of the year. Late summer is cool though
For the animals!
