May I ask why on .world ? Just because it has a widest net?
More people can view the community from the local level that then increases the visibility of the posts on the threadverse.
That’s fair. It may end up as a case study considering [email protected] 's history. I’ll be around. I added you on mastodon as well lmk if there’s anything I can do to help.
If you’re on matrix and want a chat room to talk with other vegans lmk
I’ve got a few ideas. They aren’t really lofty, but they’re on-topic.
I wouldn’t mind seeing more links to research articles here. I might be able to help with that.
I’d prefer less opinion-based discussion about vegan cat food, because it’s an evidence-based question for which there’s a lack of evidence. I’ve seen surveys of owners saying their cats are healthy and/or that vegan cat food is palatable to the cats. But those data on their own are insufficient to declare a purely plant-based diet healthy for most cats given their unique nutritional needs. Long-term data (i.e., repeated blood testing, life expectancy, rate of complications in old age) are needed to make those claims. There’s a number of ethical issues at play. A vegan cat food research agenda would be helpful.
More experience posts and discussion about being vegan would be neat.
Perhaps even some posts for non-vegans, like “ask a vegan about [how they started, what was toughest to give up for them, what they say to skeptics]” or “what’s holding you back?” might be neat, but might take up an undue amount of mod time if they got out of hand
