I tend to browse /All and by New on Lemmy. I went to respond on a thread on !vegan@lemmy.world to thank someone for a recipe that looked good, and found out I had been banned.
Odd, considering I hadn’t posted to that sub at any point in the past. I checked the modlog to find that “Mod” had banned a bunch of people citing “Rule 5.”
Their Rule 5 states: Bad-faith carnist rhetoric & anti-veganism are not allowed, as this is not a space to debate the merits of veganism. Anyone is welcome here, however, and so good-faith efforts to ask questions about veganism may be given their own weekly stickied post in the future (see current stickied discussion).
I (and hundreds of others) seemingly broke rule 5 of this community without ever posting there. What is going on?
And my apologies if this isn’t the place for this, but I had no idea where else to post the question.
I saw one vegan person call it meatsplaining. Funniest and dumbest new word I’ve heard in a long time
Yeah, there has been a wave of horrid memes on that topic, recently. I don’t give a fuck about vegans or their supposed oppressors or any associated drama. Just make decent memes and then everyone can have a giggle.
Unfortunately atm, none of then are funny.
