    I really hate how many people are spreading disinfo for no reason here. We should be better than that.

    The vegans stated very clearly that current science shows that the cat would need a fuckton of supplements and attention to be on a vegan diet but it’s functional.

    The admins then overstepped and removed such comments.

    I’m not going to argue the validity of any of those claims as I’m not a vegan and I don’t care to research, but the vegan mods were a lot more reasonable than they’re being painted here.

      Good. I don’t give a shit about what you put in your mouth. But if you think it’s ok to give your pets a shit load of supplements for no reason at all other than forcing your extremism on helpless animals you’re out of your mind.

      The pet sector must die, pet ownership isn’t vegan, pet breeders are the enemies;

      We’re not doing “optimal nutrition”, sorry. That biohacking shit to create immortal adopted pets isn’t going to work out. It’s hardly even clear for humans what the optimal diet is, and they pretend that they know what it is for cats??? These fools don’t even comprehend that evolution doesn’t give a shit about longevity. It’s a standard imposed by the marketing agencies of pet foods who want to milk pet owner feelings to have their pets die after they do. It’s a false standard that is great for advertising, but otherwise functions as a Nirvana fallacy machine.

      This is just a rephrase, but pet ownership is bourgeois. Well, aristocratic, then bourgeois. Detach. This isn’t about you, you don’t get to annex a sentient being just to keep them as an emotional service slave or as a status symbol. This one is especially for Americans where pets live better than poor people.

      Uh. Hardly reasonable.

        Are you just posting a random comment to me or what? What relevance does this have to the admin retaliations?

          That’s one of the Vegan mods on .world expressing their views on vegan diets for cats. That’s not “The vegans stated very clearly that current science shows that the cat would need a fuckton of supplements and attention to be on a vegan diet but it’s functional.”, that’s outright “Science doesn’t know shit” lunacy.

            That’s not the comment which caused this whole issue. It seems to me you’re cherry picking out of context

              If that’s what the community moderators are saying, I imagine the comment section was far worse than you’re making out.

              Alright, since “Things the mods have said” isn’t acceptable evidence for whether or not the mods are pushing ridiculous views on vegan diets for cats, and not just “The vegans stated very clearly that current science shows that the cat would need a fuckton of supplements and attention to be on a vegan diet but it’s functional”, I suppose them saying the ASPCA doesn’t know what they’re talking about, while THEIR simple ‘common sense’ allows them to understand a cat’s TRUE dietary needs is also kosher?

              This whole thing comes down to aggressively anti-scientific mods pushing misinformation and removing information to the contrary and getting removed by an admin for their troubles. Or was removing the link to the ASPCA for being ‘misinformation’ also a sign of how reasonable the c/Vegan mods were?

              I don’t give a single solitary fuck what happens to Rooki. Whether they were too quick to remove or too uncivil or what. But defending misinformation, or defending mods pushing misinformation as just being reasonable? That gets my dander up.

                The commentary you’re pointing is way more reasonable than you make it sound. I implore people to read the context themselves and not to trust summaries with rage bait agendas here.

                Stop doing the reddit thing. Making people angry at people more radical than them isn’t helping.

                  No, it’s just politely worded. That’s not reasonable. That’s civility politics.

                  I implore people to read the context themselves and not to trust summaries with rage bait agendas here.

                  I agree. They absolutely should read the context, and the modlog.

                  Stop doing the reddit thing. Making people angry at people more radical than them isn’t helping.

                  Should people… not be angry at those who spread misinformation and suppress actual information to the contrary? Is there a ‘get out of jail free’ card you get once you get radical enough that permits you to spread misinformation, no moral qualms necessary? Whether they’re ‘more radical’ or less shouldn’t fucking matter, even assuming such a linear evaluation was valid.

                    I haven’t seen them try to push misinfo. If anything, I’ve seen them post scientific articles supporting their claims and accepting that it’s an imperfect solution for an imperfect world.

                    And yes, very radical people will have some radical fucking takes. Y’all are using this as a foothold to promote generalize anti-vegan hate in this thread. There’s no nuance anymore, just bashing.

                    And yes, just trying to make people angry by painting all vegans as “let’s feed our cats veggies, YOLO” when their approach was way more careful and nuanced, is fucked up

              • Someone claims mods were being reasonable
              • Post quote showing they are not being reasonable
              • “Stop cherry picking”

          The context of the convo was vegan admins, that was a comment by one. Are you really having that much trouble following the convo?

        Yeah, that’s well and truly off the deep end. This is someone who I’d cross the road to avoid.
