      I mean, this is a server I host on my own computer that 84 people voluntarily subscribed to. If you don’t like it just press the block button. It isn’t my problem that people browse every post on Lemmy on New/All. That is like looking at a hundred email boxes that aren’t addressed to you, not setting any rules, then getting annoyed

        Wow guy that was a joke. But seeing your response yeah I get why you fucking posted this meme. I bet you annoy a lot of people and it has nothing to with veganism.

          Calm down I thought my response was just as much of a joke as yours. I get a lot of shitty comments. I literally reposted this as a meme. I had to workshop it a bit. This is vegancirclejerk, the point is to be an annoying vegan. That is the gag

          Edit: Ouch they triggered the banning script lol

    Some friendly advice, because I have a soft spot for vegans (so adorable! Little idealists 💖): you’re never going to convince people to eat less meat if you seem too dogmatic about it. Live a little! If you get frustrated at all that’s going to make veganism seem like a bummer. Even other vegans are bound to get sick of it so don’t you even think about venting in explicitly vegan spaces. Remember, it’s all your fault if you are too negative and animals get killed!

    xoxox,

    I’m vegan btw

    Was having a discussion once about a plot point in a video game I play (harvesting animal souls and whether it’s actually worse than just killing the animals). Someone asked if I’m a vegan and I said “yeah haha was it that obvious”, a third person butted in to go “SO YOU THINK EATING FOOD IS JUST AS BAD AS HARVESTING SOULS???”

    Like bro, I didn’t say that, your own brain said that. Just existing as a vegan is enough to make people mad.

        I’m sorry if you tired of knocking into closed door. There are people, even states perfectly content killing and torturing each other let alone other species. It can be hard make them to care even about their own kids and grandkids.

        On the other hand I believe you catch more flies with honey. My naive suggestion would be to promote (elevate reputation) more ethical meals.

        Tldr bully me more with Indian food 😅

          “On the other hand I believe you catch more flies with honey.”

          If you knew what it took to make people be vegan you’d be vegan. Civil rights weren’t won by being nice to the Klan

          This is a circlejerk community for vegans. Seems like the meme is accurate. STOP ABUSING ANIMALS

            If you knew what it took to make people be vegan you’d be vegan.

            ??? You know this mindset would work both ways? As in, if YOU knew what it takes to make people vegan, they would already be vegan?

              I’ve had literally dozens of people thank me for helping them change their lives and going vegan because of stupid memes when I helped run the reddit vegan circlejerk and doing real life, in person activism. The fact is no one thing works and we know, from experience, “catching more flies with honey” doesn’t work for everyone. I didn’t decide to go vegan because vegans were nice to me. I went vegan because someone made me confront cognitive dissonance.

              The difference is that I don’t think my method is the only way that works and I don’t tell Earthling Ed or the majority of vegan activists that are catching flies with agave that they are wrong
