I just got permanently banned from a community for making a single harmless remark on a single post that was right there in the main feed. It’s not a community I’m super active in so it’s not like devastating, but it is annoying

If your precious little community is full of so many delicate sensitive people who can’t even be reminded that another viewpoint even exists, then you should really protect them by defederating and having everyone join your private website

The mod has literally removed like 75% of the comments and banned everyone lol

I don’t know about anyone else, but I don’t have time to read every rule for every community that pops up when I’m in view all

    I’ve never come across a friendly vegan community. I’m not exactly looking for one but the ones that make themselves known tend to have extreme takes. There’s nothing wrong being vegan but their online community sure feels they’re going about it the wrong way, being overly dismissive and defensive rather than open and helpful.

      It can depend on how one interacts with the community as those who are open-minded are often welcomed and taught the ethical ways of doing things.

          That’s why we have the vegan community for vegans and open-minded meat eaters.

              People with speciesist tendencies are not allowed on the community however if they have an open mind sure!

                So why have a community on a federated instance? Why ban people for passive participation?

                  People need to learn about the vegan subculture. Why should a community shut itself down because others cant handle different ideas.
