Why are comments like "use Firefox" okay on Lemmy while "go vegan" is getting downvoted? (lemmy.world)

People consider vegans on Lemmy as too preachy. Even in vegan communities here, mods have to remove soooo many inappropriate comments (I read a few of these and they keep getting removed for good reasons). Comments that suggest going vegan on posts about animal abuse are downvoted.

At the same time, whenever there is something about Windows or Chromium based browsers, people here are doing exactly the same. "Just use Linux/Firefox/whatever".

That depends on what precisely you mean by "use", buddy.
