Sounds like a cool new Lemmy instance.

What does safe mean in this context? Shielded from non vegans?

And do you have to show your vegan id to join? How does one keep it vegan ONLY

[–] Five@slrpnk.net -1 points 3 months ago

If you come to the server to troll or argue with vegans, you're uninvited.

Sounds like a nice place. I'll meat you there.

vegantheoryclub.org is cooler!

Definitely has more beans.

I like the effort you've put into customizing your UI.

I see you've been around for a couple of months longer too. Do you have a relationship with nume@lemmy.vg or have you never interacted?

They took over the vegan circlejerk subreddit after I left reddit and don't know them, they run a mastodon server that I don't really understand and seem to be using bots to bridge reddit posts. My instance is bot free.

I see now that all the posts from "Lemmy.VG for Vegans" (@bridge) are reposts from reddit.com/r/vegancirclejerk - that's a pretty risky strategy. Most of the posts on Reddit appear to be satirical attacks on veganism, but decontextualized from their original post username and the post history of that account, it's less easy to independently discern which are ironic ragebait and which might be sincere.

We're experimenting with the use of bots on SLRPNK, but mirroring Reddit content is not a use that we consider wise for a number of reasons.

Yeah I don't think it's a good idea either. Can't have a circlejerk without the original. Overall I don't think Lemmy is a replacement for reddit, it's something different and better so I'm not looking to rehash any reddit ideas or memes.

Bigger picture for me is I ran and grew that meme community since 2018 and am tired of it. I think it is effective at what it does which is targeting vegetarians and literally hundreds of people have thanked me at the time for helping them cross the bridge to veganism, but it was a different time and different place. I also don't think the few thousand people on Lemmy are a big enough group for that. Without the comments, users and community it's just spam.
