    !veganism@lemmy.ca is here to cater to vegans, not people who are curious about vegans and want to interrogate them about things that they could much more easily discover from the first paragraph of a Wikipedia article

    Originally, this was this community’s intent too. The rules in the sidebar are willingly shallow about this kind of posts because at some point we decided not to be too strict with submissions, considering that there wasn’t that much activity and the mods were mostly afk . So posts like this are tolerated unless they become an omnis cicrclejerk/backpatting fest

      No disrespect. Like I said, differentiation is useful. There’s always going to be a “big tent” community that has to straddle between mainstream culture’s idea of veganism and actual veganism. And it’s probably going to be bigger and more successful than a more curated community. I just want a place to go to escape my throbbing vystopia.
