A carnist lemmy world instance admin has stepped in and meatsplained to the mods while restoring comments that violated the community’s rules. They deleted comments that they did not agree with, citing ‘misinformation’, and threatened to demod the mods if those comments were removed again. The comments were deleted and the admin was banned from the community as per violating the rules of the community, that was until they unbanned themselves (admin abuse) and unmodded two of the moderators because of “promoting harmfull actions against pets”.

As far as it stands, if the lemmy world community wasn’t already not a safe vegan place for you (it really wasn’t) it most certainly isn’t now as carnists (lemmy world instance admin) currently mod it.

I suggest any vegan who wants a safe and welcoming space to come and interact with vegantheoryclub.org. Sorry for any inconvienance that this may have caused. I am deeply upset at the admins actions today and don’t condone them whatsoever.

    NGL, I don’t know anything about the cat issue, cuz I haven’t looked into it. Ya I’m not a cat owner. Vegan cats are OK? Please forgive my ignorance.

      From my understanding all the meat derived nutrients that cats need can be (and for some of them are usually) synthesized in a lab. Nobody in that thread was advocating for feeding cats a diet of rice and carrots, but were stating that actual formulated vegan cat food is healthy so long as it has got all the nutrients that cats need.

        Sorry. I’ve just heard the carnist answer enough times and I haven’t bothered to actually Google it. Any page that isn’t Quora or Reddit states that, yes, cats can be vegan.
