A carnist lemmy world instance admin has stepped in and meatsplained to the mods while restoring comments that violated the community's rules. They deleted comments that they did not agree with, citing 'misinformation', and threatened to demod the mods if those comments were removed again. The comments were deleted and the admin was banned from the community as per violating the rules of the community, that was until they unbanned themselves (admin abuse) and unmodded two of the moderators because of "promoting harmfull actions against pets".
As far as it stands, if the lemmy world community wasn't already not a safe vegan place for you (it really wasn't) it most certainly isn't now as carnists (lemmy world instance admin) currently mod it.
I suggest any vegan who wants a safe and welcoming space to come and interact with vegantheoryclub.org. Sorry for any inconvienance that this may have caused. I am deeply upset at the admins actions today and don't condone them whatsoever.

It started in a vegan struggle session, the fuel had been building for a while but that was the final spark. An explosive mixture of vitriol, resentment, and externalised shame flaired in an instant.
We don't know the inciting comment, it was lost with the original hard drive in the early days of the war. Everyone remembers something different, that's part of why the divide continues. Platters smashed, cables cut, keyboards melted to slag. Our desperate efforts to control the narrative, to determine who could post escalated beyond the digital. Beyond all reason.
We don't know the inciting comment, but as I wake in this blasted wasteland I sure as hell know the one that's going to finish it. metallic gun noises
