Isn't this something that the fediverse was explicitly designed to support?
We're making fun of them for making use of one of the foundational features of the platform?

If they don't like it there, they can move again. And again. Or host their own instance.

Idk what this creepy vicarious butthurt is about, or why it has become so popular.

Circle jerking against vegans is a pasttime of the Internet denizens

[-] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 36 points 2 months ago

Yeah, but it's a pretty pathetic passtime. At least find a good reason, rather than doing literally the thing you want them to do.

Like, insulting them for leaving is just as bad as them crying that their toxic behavior scares people away. It makes no sense.

[-] socsa@piefed.social 6 points 2 months ago

I mean this kind of a perfect example of doing the thing where you blow shit up over an extremely pedantic issue which is at best tangentially related to the core ethic, specifically because you view nuance itself as a threat. As far as purity tests dissolving into self parody, I'm not sure there's a better example for veganism.

And I say this as a person who otherwise sympathizes with vegans, but often finds them insufferable. Self awareness is the vaccine to self parody.

Do you just not believe vegan cats exist?

https://news.uoguelph.ca/2021/03/u-of-g-researchers-first-to-study-health-effects-of-vegan-diets-on-cats/

Supposedly they'd die right? Not live long healthy lives? Or live longer than cats on a standard diet?

[-] IzzyJ@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago

Pretty much, yeah. And I'm not convinced by your news article either as the study described relies on the reporting of pet-owners. Vegan cat owners forcing such a diet on their pet aren't exactly people I trust to be 100% honest about the wellness of said cat.

[-] Soulg@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 months ago

That's the problem, just because they don't immediately drop dead doesn't make the diets any better for them.

Like a family camping trip, classic fun. Pitch a tent, start a fire, roast some vegans and sing kumbaya
