Welcome to the Vegan Theory Club Weekly Megathread!
Weâre kicking things off with a space just for vegans! Inspired by our friends over at Hexbear, this thread is the spot to chat about whatâs on your mind, whatâs happening, and what youâre planning for the week.
Feel free to talk about anything, whether itâs vegan-related or not. This is a chill space for connecting, sharing ideas, and supporting each other.
Looking forward to hearing what everyoneâs up to!
Got any ideas?
Weâre also taking suggestions for essay topics, recommended readings, or any resources that could help each other out. Feel free to drop in links, ask for advice, or contribute any other materials you think would be useful for the community and we can start adding to the megathread.
Looking forward to hearing what everyoneâs up to and what we can explore together!
Check out our communities:
The communities are here to help share links and photos for vegans by vegans.
Vegan Home Cooks is a site for a discord server called Vegan Home Cooks Discord. This is a low-friction post-what-you-cooked community so we can share what we made today and talk about it, no recipes required. We want to provide motivation and encouragement for each other and show off what we made today.
Vegan Recipes is focused on how to cook and links to recipe sites.
Gardening is focused on our gardens, plants, hydroponics and learning how to do it. Some of us are pros and some are just learning and want to post what weâre reading and what weâre doing.
Vegan is for general vegan news
Vegan Infographics for vegan infographics and agitprop
Art All things art, preferably by vegans but not required.
Book Club Our sort of monthly book club, we finished reading Fanon but never had our final post. Weâre going to get that going and do fiction for September/October. Also post about whatever you are reading!
DIY Do it yourself! This is a community to fix our shit.
Our communities are federated with various other servers running software called Lemmy. If you have an account on one of those servers you can still subscribe to our communities from your home server and participate. If you create an account with us you can also view other federated communities across multiple Lemmy servers we are linked up with.
Thanks for visiting our site!
Iâm finding the lemmy users who leave shitty comments and argumentative bullshit more and more tiring.
I blocked them aggressively when I was on .ml. Or mildly goaded a few of them into flying off the handle so I could report them under civility rules. It doesnât usually take much. Seems like vegans on Lemmy have been a growing target lately.
I had an account on .world a long while ago now and pissing off the anti-vegan trolls was something I occasionally loved to indulge in.
I considered it an âeveryone winsâ situation: I get to have a laugh, the trolls get to interact with another person (unlike the real world) and a lot of the bystanders get to see just how pathetic they are.
That said I understand how it gets old fairly quickly when you have to constantly deal with that shit as a mod on a vegan community. Iâm genuinely grateful to hamid, Potato, and the other mods/admins here for not only setting this place up but taking care of it, and it genuinely sucks that thereâs a loud group of people who really canât take ten seconds to read the sideboard so they donât constantly break rules, or are just flat out here to troll.
There was one user in some of the LW posts that blew up recently who was so annoyingly wrong in the most pedantic manner, but they were also prolific. Itâs exhausting disproving wave after wave of BS. It always takes more effort to show why something makes no sense than to say something that makes no sense.
Thereâs a term for that! Brandoliniâs law
