An online space for the vegans of Lemmy.

Rules and miscellaneous:

  1. 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)
  2. 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
  3. Use content warnings and NSFW tags for triggering content
  4. Circlejerking belongs to /c/vegancirclejerk
  5. All posts should abide by Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Should I be aggressively vegan? Should I isolate myself from all my non-vegan friends which equals all my friends? Should I kill over veganism? I feel complicit but I don't want to lose all my friends. Should I get over it?

“Should I kill over veganism?”

Trolling is a art.

the veganfreak podcast said it best IMHO, primarily you need to be a healthy and happy vegan , you need to present to people a positive vision of what being a vegan might be like to them, it needs to be something they could see themselves doing. Be happy, be excited about what you eat , share that with others. I know billions of animals get murdered each day and we need to stop that but I think the slow game I laid out above is the only real way.

Approaching veganism like a religious person who goes around verbally spamming people is the most cringe and bad thing you can do

Aside from Weird Al, is there any other kind of Vegan? Please continue to educate me about my meat sins while feeding your pet cat carrots until it goes blind so no animals are harmed. It's the only way I will learn.

It helps to see your enemies as victims, who are not as in control of their habits as you are, for whatever reason. Just imagine, if a child didn't have the right idea, you wouldn't scream at it, but patiently try to convince it by spreading the facts.
