:vegan-liberation:

Welcome to /c/vegan and congratulations on your first steps toward overcoming liberalism and ascending to true leftist moral superiority.

Rules

No plant-based diet bullshit or promotion of plant-based capitalism. Veganism isn't about you, it's about historical materialist anti-speciesism, anti-racist animalization, and animal liberation. Ethical vegans only.
No omni apologists or carnists. Babystepping is for libs, and we're not here to pat you on the back. Good faith questions and debate about how to fight for animal liberation are allowed.
No advocating violence to any species for any reason. If you think this is negotiable GTFO. This includes but is not limited to animal testing, slaughter, and mass euthanasia. Anything that promotes speciesism or the commodification of animals will be removed.
Use Content Warnings and NSFW tags for triggering content. Especially if a comrade requests it.
Questions about diet belong in c/food. It's also a great place to share recipes.
In all sections of the site, you must follow the Hexbear.net Code of Conduct.

I've noticed a lot of :morshupls: and :debatebro-l: from carnists going unmoderated in this community even after being reported and was wondering why. I decided to have a look at the list of mods to find out, and discovered the following:

@ella has not made a post or comment on Hexbear since December 2021.
@DashEightMate has not made a post or comment on Hexbear since May 2021.
@Dirtbag has never made a post or comment on Hexbear.
@Kanna posts or comments on a fairly regular basis - once a week or so - but this clearly isn't enough for the only active mod of this community.

If c/vegan is going to be in any sense useable as a place for vegans to discuss our ideas in a friendly environment, rather than yet another platform on which we must battle carnists at every turn, we're going to need some new blood on the mod team.

I am one of the users in that list!! Fwiw I don't want to mod it properly because last time the shit people were throwing at me basically made me want to kill myself, I got completely disillusioned with leftism in general for a while

But maybe someone stronger than me can come along and take it 😎 I am admittedly not a very stable person

I'm an ex mod as well. If the admins aren't willing to do something about reactionary vegans site-wide, some more comm mods won't do a thing.

I hope you're doing better now comrade

Insane rambling DO NOT READ

They do ban the bad ones now, check modlog, but fuck this is why I got so disillusioned, they are everywhere, I don't think there's much they or anyone can do, which is why I only use this site with dumb bit accounts like this one and have stopped trying to maintain any coherent identity here, or anywhere leftist online -- to be clear this isn't a Hexbear issue, it's an Online Left issue. I just don't have it in me to care anymore, fuck, knowing people here would probably kill me or at least completely socially ostracise me in person because I'm not white and a principled vegan made me lose all hope :sadness-abysmal:

Talk about treat defenders. I just have no hope in a left movement when criticism of something somebody enjoys leads them to say the shit they say, or throw my whole identity as somebody who is non-white into doubt because "Vegans Are Just Dumb Westeners" or "The Gringos Are Wild For This One 🤣🤣🤣"

Insane rambling over. Need to talk about this in therapy istg.
