Well seeing as the sole mod of this community was only active for around a month almost a year ago, I doubt you’ll get an answer from them.

However, I’d consider a “true” vegan to be someone who abstains from consuming/using animal products for ethical reasons. I’ve met too many “health-focused vegans” who saw it as a fad diet more than anything else, wearing leather or fur, using animal-tested products, and even as far as eating meat occasionally and still calling themselves vegan.
