The vegan place to discuss things.

Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of animals, humans and the environment. In dietary terms it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals.

I don't like this comm aside from a handful of posts and want it to change (vegantheoryclub.org)

I don't think "vegan news" is a valuable service and leads to low effort content.

This is supposed to be a social media site for friends, not whatever this is. @josie@vegantheoryclub.org made by far the best post here and I really appreciate that. The rest of the content is boring and banal in my opinion.

Is there anything we can do to change this community? I'd like this to be more about us and our veganism than about vegan news or memes. Please let me know what you think

I don't subscribe because I find myself having knee jerk reactions to posts promoting plant based capitalism and I don't want to be unkind and get into fights on the internet.

That's not really a suggestion, more an observation.

Perhaps a vegan theory community would make sense? I hesitate to suggest it because I know I won't make the effort to contribute.

Eta: I like the weekly threads!

You're the final decision maker which is an important role to play, I need you to be a second set of eyes so that I do not act unilaterally or too rashly. Pulling back the curtain a bit I've now known you for a while and highly respect and trust you. Between the community and you I think that we can make good decisions together. The announcements thread was for me to gauge opinions but unfortunately instead of a reasonable discussion it became about US politics and manipulation.

Always happy to add some inertia to things lol.

Replying here for transparency to the community: I didn't reply to the thread about defederating (except to ask for clarification from one person) because I don't have an opinion on this topic. I don't browse the wider lemmiverse so I don't interact with other instances except for a few communities I subscribe to. I'm also not really online here enough to get a sense of if some instances seem to attract people who cause issues and I don't read the mod logs.

I don't want to give the impression that I don't want to engage in discussion or am discussing community impacting things only in private.

In conclusion:

I really did not like this. I want to know more about shitjustworks, I had previously only seen their worst comms and moderator behaviour but recently I have seen well-meaning posts and class consciousness on the instance. Instead almost every single comment was off topic, a complete waste of time.

I have made a post on clothing that hopefully will help sharing of information.
