Isn't this something that the fediverse was explicitly designed to support?
\ We're making fun of them for making use of one of the foundational features of the platform?If they don't like it there, they can move again. And again. Or host their own instance.
Idk what this creepy vicarious butthurt is about, or why it has become so popular.

Circle jerking against vegans is a pasttime of the Internet denizens
-
Yeah, but it's a pretty pathetic passtime. At least find a good reason, rather than doing literally the thing you want them to do.
Like, insulting them for leaving is just as bad as them crying that their toxic behavior scares people away. It makes no sense.
-
I mean this kind of a perfect example of doing the thing where you blow shit up over an extremely pedantic issue which is at best tangentially related to the core ethic, specifically because you view nuance itself as a threat. As far as purity tests dissolving into self parody, I'm not sure there's a better example for veganism.
And I say this as a person who otherwise sympathizes with vegans, but often finds them insufferable. Self awareness is the vaccine to self parody.

Like a family camping trip, classic fun. Pitch a tent, start a fire, roast some vegans and sing kumbaya

this reads like cope.

Because it is

Do you just not believe vegan cats exist?
Supposedly they'd die right? Not live long healthy lives? Or live longer than cats on a standard diet?
-
Pretty much, yeah. And I'm not convinced by your news article either as the study described relies on the reporting of pet-owners. Vegan cat owners forcing such a diet on their pet aren't exactly people I trust to be 100% honest about the wellness of said cat.
-
That's the problem, just because they don't immediately drop dead doesn't make the diets any better for them.

Sure you can ally yourself with the CCP and that might be totally legal (if they collect any personal data and send it overseas to China then that would be breaking the law but it's unlikely) but that doesn't mean it isn't frowned upon.
-
That's a stretch, but even assuming it's true, why do you care enough about their community to frown upon it?
-
I have opinions on a lot of things that don't effect me at all. Palestinian genocide, Uighurs in sweatshops, child labor laws in other states, homeless people being harassed, the socioeconomic shift of Hong Kong losing independent legal rights.
I can respect their freedom to ally themselves to people who wish them direct harm, but I also have the freedom to express my disappointment in them.

Yes and no. The theory is that each instance is supposed to be more specialized, kind of like the old BBS that used to be rampant on the internet. If you are moving to an instance just because people disagree with you instead to have more discussion over a specific topic that is not really in line with the purpose of the fediverse.
-
Some people are not mature enough to handle the vegan perspective.
-
It's just disguised metadrama. They joined the instances this instance doesn't like.
-
And so they're moving, and somehow y'all are... Upset about it???? Make it make sense
-
I don't see anyone upset about it.
Making fun of them, yes. But not upset.-
Making fun of them for doing what you want?
\ Or do you want them to stay?-
How do you come to either of those conclusions?
-
They're leaving.
\ Y'all are making fun of them for leaving.If you want them to leave, as people often told them to do, why are you making fun of them for it? Why do you care where they go?
If you don't want them to leave, why are you being mean to them?
-
That's not why people make fun of them.
-
-
No. You're missing the point.
Interesting article though.

With some people you cant win with them no matter what you do.
