I just got permanently banned from a community for making a single harmless remark on a single post that was right there in the main feed. It’s not a community I’m super active in so it’s not like devastating, but it is annoying
If your precious little community is full of so many delicate sensitive people who can’t even be reminded that another viewpoint even exists, then you should really protect them by defederating and having everyone join your private website
The mod has literally removed like 75% of the comments and banned everyone lol
I don’t know about anyone else, but I don’t have time to read every rule for every community that pops up when I’m in view all
If people do not want to engage with c/vegan in good faith or follow the rules then it’s best to move on.
If you can’t handle good faith arguments then you should get off of your soapbox.
This has been reported. I may not agree with all they say, but I do agree on following the rules. This is why I don’t engage with the vegan community.
I appreciate that approach however if the Lemmy World admins want to use heavy handed tactics on a misunderstood minority community protecting their users once again the whole fediverse will be watching and will have further documented evidence of admin misconduct. c/vegan believes in the protection of animal and human rights.
You’re just really vocal about your diet, you’re not a protected minority nor should you be lmao. Trying to equate yourself with being black, LGBT or having some other inherent, immutable property that leads to people getting murdered, raped, beaten, abused, fired, jailed, tortured, sold into slavery or many other things throughout the world, is kinda fucking offensive.
Veganism is a philosophy not a diet. Vegans are often discriminated against as our freedom of speech is often silenced and the community is often slandered. Many vegans were arrested for protesting and for recording what occurs inside factory farms.

You have no qualms about not following your own rules.
Voting on content that is in the Lemmy feed is engaging in good faith. That’s what the voting system is for.
What is not good faith is suppressing anyone who doesn’t 100% agree with what your community is for
Shouldn’t votes be about how good it fits the community, instead of how good it fits All? …maybe those two types of votes should be counted separately, All votes for how high it should rank on All and subscriber votes for everywhere else.
You’re ignoring the rules for your own temper tantrums.
Indeed. That community is not breaking any instance rule, why are people so obsessed with it
I have no obsession with the community. It just draws attention when people start getting bans for “rule violations” they didn’t commit.
Rules can be as strict as the mods want them to be as long as they do not break the instance rules
I agree.
If they want the rule to be “No downvoting Beaver” then they should make the rule “No downvoting Beaver” and stop banning people for Rule 5 violations they didn’t commit.
Veganism in general goes against what the average person was taught when they were growing up. As people mistakenly believe that by going vegan they’re giving up delicious foods and a happy life.
Vote score on this comment really proving the point that this type of moderation is necessary. If you don’t want a community in your feed block it, it is not everyone else’s responsibility to cater to the hivemind.
I’d love to know what my “Rule 5” violation was for
