MODERATORS
Until I joined Lemmy I had no idea how militant vegans could be. I sorta just assumed they were a different brand of vegetarian.
I'm not opposed to their ideaology in any way, but after reading the comments on a few posts that found their way into my feed... I had to block their communities. It didn't seem likely that I'd be reading any productive discourse there.
I was vegan for 8 years and during that time I didn't talk to anyone about it other than to say, "I don't eat that."
I say that to say this - vegans are insufferable and a large reason why I quit the community and went back to omnivore. Even after 8 years, other vegans were still 'more vegan' and would nitpick the dumbest stuff.
"Bro, did you eat a date? That killed a bee or something. Not cool."
Shut up with that. Let me eat my damn fruit.
I was healthier though. But, to be fair, I was younger.
I'm a level 5 vegan. I won't eat anything that casts a shadow.
Now it reminded me of Vladimir Sorokin's "Horse soup". Time to read it again.
