There are definitely more vegans on lemmy but given they are frequently targeted with harassment and trolling I doubt all of them are willing to expose themselves to such behavior.
I'm happy lemmy is flexible enough to offer spaces for all of us, assholes be damned. Thanks for offering places for people to feel comfortable!
Thanks for not fucking up the planet any faster than you have to, and for being a better person than I am.
I've almost given up meat. I don't see myself ever giving up cheese. But I appreciate you guys and what you're (not) doing.

Never say never. I thought the same for some time.

Agree with this however I'm not vegan and don't want to take underserved credit for the effort it takes to make it a permanent change.
I'm heading down the path but still have a ways to go to the destination.
You're doing more than the vast majority of people, so this isn't supposed to be an attack but isn't it kinda selfish to still eat cheese when you, from what it seems like, understand why it's wrong? Anyway, actual cheese can already be made vegan but, at least in the EU, the company just isn't allowed to sell it because they're still waiting for approval but other companies like Rewe are also starting to invest in it, so hopefully it won't take long until it can be sold. I think they're starting to sell it outside the EU tho.
Same, and honestly, that's enough for now. It already cuts out a giant portion of the footprint and I got so many other things to worry about, I can work on finding replacement cheese that isn't a joke later.
For real. There's a significant number of downvotes on this article even. What the hell?
Clowns doing clown things. I'd recommend an instance with downvotes disabled but it's all personal preference.
Could be unrelated, but there was some fiasco a bit ago where some vegans on Lemmy were calling for withholding necessary nutrition to pets, and they got a ton of shit for it. There's been a kind of "fuck that place" vibe ever since.
Hopefully people can eat a little less meat and it loses its subsidies. That would be great.

As if. People disagreeing with you is not harassement. I guess almost no one want you to stop not eating meat.

Amen to that
Contrary point of view here. I'm not vegan, not even vegetarian, but reduced my animal produce consumption a lot (not that I consumed much anyway) and am always looking for further alternatives that are possible within my personal circumstances. However, what I've seen on Lemmy (and other social media, such as Reddit) regarding vegans, was highly militant and toxic people who spew nonsense and hostility towards anyone who is not vegan. Generally what you'd describe as veganazi or whatever. Seeing things like that definitely does not cause me wanting to join or even lurk such communities and is really just confirming the stereotypes being shared by certain trolls.
Joining a vegan community exposes you to toxic trolls that are hostile to the very idea of veganism aka carnists. Their comments are eventually removed at least. Calling things you do not like Nazis is extremely poor taste. Nazis killed an estimated 17 million people. This is very serious. You are comparing Nazis to vegans who just want animals to stop dying for human consumption. More than 80 billion land animals are slaughtered for meat every year worldwide. You may not value an animal as equal to a human life, but you must admit this is messed up.
We exist!
People can have more than one account, so there might be overlap between these two instances.
Also, having an account on one of these two doesn't make you a vegan, just like having an account on any other instance doesn't mean you're not a vegan.
I’m a lurker. Vegetarian myself but my wife is vegan.
cool. I guess I'm effectively vegan now so maybe I'll find some good recipes on here
If there where any more they'd have told us already.
I didn't get counted so I say you have 111 vegans hehe
is there any information on the User-Base by nationality?
some of us were wondering on another thread since there are so many communities in different languages, but I can't find any way to tell the ballpark nationality percentages of the users here.
I don’t think there is as these instances haven’t done surveys on nationality as of yet.
I have seen English, French, Swedish, Portuguese, German and Vietnamese vegan communities though.
I'm curious, since the federation seems a lot more geographically decentralized then reddit did.
