Please no brigading, I’m only linking for context.

Criticising the OP for being spiteful by saying “Served them right!” in the post when lack of customers resulted in menu changes, which still failed to save the restaurant is hardly “excusing carnism” or being a “fake vegan” in my opinion.

“fake vegan” isn’t in the rules anywhere either? Odd really.

Failing to celebrate the closure of a (formerly) vegan restaurant due to lack of customers hardly sounds like ‘carnist rhetoric’ (rule 5) to me but what do I know.

    Note. Keep your comments here on topic about whether the mods are PTB or not. Generic vegan-bashing won’t be tolerated

    the /c/vegan mods are exactly the type of vegan that makes people roll their eyes when someone states that they are vegan - they are harmful to their cause, because being a PTBs lies in their nature. Thanks for the tip with plantbased @[email protected] :-)

      Fully agree. I don’t understand why lemmy has so many rude and aggressive vegans. This is why I don’t even want to use that word to refer to myself!

      Glad it was helpful :)

    The same mod banned me and deleted my comment where I called her out for equating eating meat with domestic violence. She clearly gets off on the smell of her own farts.

    So, to be clear, the restaurant was formally vegan. Then, due to financial struggles, added carnist options to the menu and alienated a lot of their regular vegan cuatomers resulting in them shutting down.

    This was old news.

    Also, I can understand the mods being spiteful about things like this. It sends a message that if you’re a vegan restaurant and you add carnist options then you will lose customers, not gain them. Valid point if you’re primary concern is animal welfare. I’m vegan and I don’t want to give money to any business that profiteers of animal cruelty.

    That said, I think the mod should just say that rather than banning you. Though perhaps those communities get brigaded with a lot of anti-vegan bad-faith bullshit arguments and the mods are a bit quick to the ban hammer as a result.
