*please note i deeply value and respect the vegan movement. i am just critical of how humorously it precipitates in online spaces, particularly this one. :)

Imagine being such a coward that you specifically choose to start shit on a community that has downvotes disabled.
unblocking you temporarily just to say that this is by far the tamest callout-style post i have made in a hot second, 196 or not, both in my messaging and in reception :) people are being by and large very chill here and i am proud of this fact. when you see insults getting thrown, report it as it’s not allowed here. oktakecarebyeeee
Sure, it’s super tame if you ignore the insults getting thrown against vegans, which are far more than the ones in the opposite direction both in this thread and elsewhere around Lemmy. But since those are sent against the same people you’re throwing hostility against, everything is still “tame” to you. Fucking amazing.
“Could it be that I’m annoying and the broader Lemmyverse just doesn’t like me? No, it’s OP who deliberately got them going and turned them against me”
I’m not a vegan and I’ve never insulted people for eating meat, but I have eyes and I can observe that people get far more shit for being vegan than for not being so on this site. Keep on deluding yourself to maintain the fantasy that you’re not in the wrong, though.
Get over yourself. Nobody cares what you eat, they care when they proselytize and demand that everyone takes their views. People don’t hate vegans, they hate annoying soapbox screamers.
Nah.
That’s a nice argument, senator. Why don’t you back it up with a source?
You are making extraordinary claims here. All people challenging the status quo are hated on and attacked by a big part of the population. Be it vegans, queer people, feminists. How do we dare to question their identity, place in the world or behaviour by having an opini9n or by just fucking existing?
It’s nobody else’s fault when an instance configures itself wrong.
I have provided polite feedback about the utility of downvotes, in threads that went ‘it’s great this instance has no downvotes, so everyone has to use their words for polite feedback!,’ and some ShitJustWorks admin put a boot in my ass like I was ruining their fun. The modern internet’s idea of civility is complete nonsense.
Are you referring to Lemmy? As I write this, I can see your downvote count (7) as well as your upvote count (12).
I am using Voyager for Lemmy on Android. It has a setting to show both values instead of just the sum of them (which I believe would be default setting).
If a server has downvotes disabled (as does dot blahaj dot zone), you will only be able to see downvotes coming from your own server (which is dot world).
