IRL, whenever I deem it fit to talk about veganism - its perks vs omni diet, environmental impact, etc. - I get a little tense but usually follow through to voice my opinions and challenge other people’s views. I feel good about it because it’s only to the benefit of animals if even a little seed of doubt is seeded into omni minds.

On Lemmy, I feel like there are a lot of vegans around but omnis are more prevalent. I realise that I might be “picking fights” in that I bring up veganism when the subject does not exactly “demand it”, if that makes sense, but I feel like it’s such a huge injustice for animals that being a little uncomfortable for the sake of animals is nothing, really.

In text, I can formulate my thoughts and make better arguments, I feel like, but so do most people on here, so I back off rather quickly. In the end, I wonder if it’s even worth mentioning at all?

Do you guys do that on here? I just can’t not say something. Maybe it’s just wasted breath and key strokes, though. I don’t know. Ty

    with !kreisvegs@discuss.tchncs.de I have a whole (German speaking) community for that. Even though it is supposed to be the German vegan circlejerk, there are probably some non-vegans lurking.

    Apart from that, I sometimes add comments whenever it makes sense for the topic at hand, and I have some minutes to spare.
