  • To be very brief:

    Beehaw seeks primarily to protect its users and create a space where they aren’t going to be attacked for being who they are.

    The Beehaw admins noticed they were dealing with a lot of hate from 2 lemmy instances which had open sign ups.

    Beehaw defederated from those 2 instances.

    There’s been some kickback from people who think defederating goes against the core values of Lemmy.

    That’s all I’ve got, I’m sure others will be able to add to this








  • You misunderstand the ethics of veganism. Vegans aim to reduce suffering. So far, science points to most animals being likely to suffer similarly to how we as humans suffer, since we share evolutionary history and similar biological systems.

    Plants do not share these systems, nor have any evolutionary pressure to be able to suffer or feel pain, since they would not be able to do anything about it anyway

    It’s not a blanket “living things are sacred”

    Furthermore, if you really cared at all about the poor suffering plants, you’d know that the vast vast majority of plants grown by humans are fed inefficiently to animals. So, by going vegan, you’d be hugely reducing the number of plants you are causing harm to

    Finally, carnivorous animals have literally nothing to do with veganism. Please stop trying to discredit a movement you don’t even understand
