Names blurred to protect the innocent / crazy. Not trying to call anyone out, just thought the response was hilarious and highly disproportionate. Like, they distinguished that comment (green border/background).

For reference, the comment I presume that was downvoted that apparently triggered that response was to the tune of “BoTH SiDEz!!!” with some hyper generalizing / stereotyping on the side.

      I mean clearly they are unhappy with how they act so defederating just makes sense to me

        Nah in my experience vegans are pretty happy in their spaces it’s usually the meat eaters who try to dampen the mood like how they were doing on that post

          That’s… what I’ve been saying lol. That the vegans aren’t happy how the outsiders are acting in their instance. So to stop outsides from coming there they could defederate.

            Nah, Lemmy doesn’t need to be fragmented more because some people are too close-minded against veganism which has existed since 1944.

            The outsiders will still somehow find themselves there and then complain that we vegans are mean. I have seen it countless times in other vegan spaces.

              Would have a lot less of them if it was defederated

                Seems like victim blaming.

                “Oh, you guys get harassed? Just cut yourselves out of the rest of the instances, completely killing your community in the process”

                If bigots were to systematically downvote content on LGBT instances, would you also suggest those instances to defederate?

                  It’d probably make the places nicer for the people their so could be a good idea
