    1. Adding animal abuse to their TOS was a good move. I’m surprised it wasn’t already there.
    2. Encouraging people to feed a cat a vegan diet is a call to abuse a cat through deliberate malnourishment.
    3. Mods on c/vegan were directly calling for animal abuse, and censoring anyone countering them.

    I stand with the admins on this. Zero sympathy for animal abusers.

    leaving .world is a pretty fair response

    Okay, .world account…

      1. Agreed, except when it’s being done to retroactively justify your actions.
      2. I think it’s a very bad idea to feed a cat a Vegan diet, but there are vegan products being sold on the market, and if you want to feed your cat one of these products, you should discuss them with a vet or other qualified professional. Regular dry food contains way more carbohydrates than cats are meant to have in their diet, which can lead to obesity and diabetes in cats. Are people who feed their cats dry food animal abusers? Should the Lemmy admins start policing the use of dry food?
      3. The mods of c/vegan were trying to assert their ability to moderate their own sub as they saw fit in the face of a massive overreach from the admin. I think they’re the most insufferable community I’ve seen on this instance, but they should have the right to moderate their own community.

      And yes, I’m on .world, but very little of my identity is tired up in my lemmy instance, and I’m certainly not going to bat for the .world admins when they do something crazy.

        Just please make an alt account if you intend on cresting any communities.
