Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Say anything bad about vegan even jokingly and you're guaranteed to be downvoted.
What bad things can one say about vegans?
brigading and extensive use of sockpuppet accounts to suppress things they don't like.
spread unfounded claims about saturated fat and animal protein
diluting the literature with weak epidemiology and making logically fallacious claims of consensus is truth, not to mention paper count isn't consensus
no tolerance of apostates who used to follow the diet and now do better on a different diet
wont engage in good faith in discussions about nutrition and health: what-about-isms, appeals to authority, citation bombing, citation bluffing, extensive goal post moving (even if x is healthy, what about y)
a very aggressive segment of their supporters has given them a bad name
That they talk too much about being vegans is a big complaint.
I only see non-vegans talking about vegans on the internet - just like in this case.
I haven't seen it never, but it doesn't seem as bad as people say. IRL I never tell people I'm veg just to undercut the steriotype. People finding out a couple years into knowing me never seems to earn any brownie points, which says something.
I have noticed vegans seem more fine with me when they think I'm a carnist, which says something about them.
Fck vegans
