Vegan Home Cooks
Come join the Vegan Home Cooks!
Participation is really easy, just take a picture of what you cooked today and post it, no recipes needed.
This is a public forum for a discord server of friends who are all vegans and cook at home for their families.
We are here to share some inspiration, to see what others are doing and to stay engaged in something that is both our hobby and a required task.
This forum is not a "food porn" community, a recipe book or a place to teach you how to cook. It is a place for people who already cook to meet other people like themselves and provide on topic support and conversation as much as long distance friends on the internet can do. We are doing show and tell about what we made and we don't care about its instagram worthiness.
Veganism isn’t a diet but I have to eat every day. This is for the vegan home cooks. Anything non vegan will be deleted.
Rules
1. Be Vegan.
If it is not vegan it doesn’t belong here… or anywhere.
2. Post home cooking.
No restaurant or fast food. This is what every other vegan space is about and we don’t want to promote any large or small business tyrants.
We’re an active community of vegan home cooks that like to talk about what we are cooking today.
4. Do not make any rude comments or digs at anyone’s food, cooking style, specific diet, restrictions or technique.
While we are all cooks, we all have different requirements and we’re not asking for help, we are doing show and tell.
5. Do not use trademarked brands
Use generic names. We’re cooking with tvp not whatever business brands it and we’re not trying to turn comrades into billboards. No plant-based vegan-pandering capitalist crap like Impossible, Beyond, Dairy-company owned “vegan” cheese.
6. Do not ask for a recipe without otherwise engaging the OP (No posts that are just “recipe?”)
We are not food bloggers. Sometimes we're excited to share and will tell you the recipes we used but this isn't required. Instead try doing your own research and tell us what you learned and we can talk about it.
7. Careful with making unasked for suggestions.
Sometimes we like to hear suggestions but you should be nice about it and know the person you are making suggestions to. We are in the discord and you can get to know us that way. If you are just a visitor from the fediverse, this isn’t the place for you to start telling other people what to do.
8. Grown Ups Only.
Cooking for our kids is great, Acting like one is not. While this isn't a community for adult material we expect everyone who participates to be an adult and act like one. Please follow the Anarchists Code of Conduct. No profane usernames allowed.

I disagree towards the bots being the enemy of the free people. They're just another tool, and can be both good and bad. Plus they're likely needed when it comes to mass-scale disinformation campaigns like those launched by hostile foreign nations against countries in an effort to destabilize them. Much like veganism is far more nuanced than "eat salads", I believe technology and social media is far more nuanced than you're acknowledging.
All nations are hostile, especially the one developing the technology behind these bots. I am not a nation state and I have no enemies.
You live and are part of your nation and culture. The culture and life you've developed are in part, a part of your nation of origin. There are other nations that would be directly hostile to you regardless of your precieved association with your nation or not. You understand that, right? Like, I see what you're trying to argue and I would love for the world to work like that, but it simply does not for a variety of reasons far outside of our individual control.
I am not trying to argue with liberals and this is why your instance is being defederated. I want to build a community of people that share my values and it is clear lemmy.world does not. I don't think what you are saying is reasonable or true about the world and I definitely don't agree about being a part of a nation. I swear no loyalty to any nation and I am against all oath taking. I do not think that a bot created by the American empire filled with algorithms I can never understand and that can be manipulated at any time without me knowing can ever be "good" or will ever protect me from "hostile nations". I do not believe any nation represents my culture and I believe that nations only exist to exploit us and manipulate human endeavor to their own purposes. I do not live in either the nation I was conceived in or the nation I grew up in.
The world is what you make it. Some people though are so propagandized and live under such strict thought control they can't even imagine anything different. The death of imagination is thought control. Because they can't imagine anything else they will never work for anything meaningful or try anything different. This is why veganism will never work in a neoliberal society. Neoliberals are depressed and feckless, they would rather gaslight themselves then actually act so they will all live in the prison defined by their managing oligarchy until they die. Maybe every 4 years they exercise their political muscles by participating in elections which in imperial core are kayfabe WWE style productions of actual participatory government. This is really sad and tragic and the curse of liberals. I would feel bad for them but they are belittling, mean and then retaliatory. For example your "you understand that, right?" is belittling bullshit from someone I don't respect and don't want on my server. You are not the adult in the room.
I do not live in the same world as you, this is true. I make my own reality with my own community. Do you have the imagination to to understand that?
