Vegans being banned and comments being deleted from !vegan@lemmy.world for being fake vegans.

From my perspective, the comments were in no way insulting and just part of completely normal interaction. If this decision reflects the general opinion of the mod team, then from my perspective, the biggest vegan community on Lemmy wants to be an elitist cycle of hardcore vegans only, not allowing any slightly different opinion. Which would be very unfortunate.

PS: In contrast to the name of this community, I don’t want to insult anyone here being a ‘bastard’. I just want to post this somewhere on neutral ground. I would really appreciate an open discussion without bashing anyone.

      At least it is apparent that you misname and follow veganism with as much zeal as any religious zealot. Feel free to block me, too ;-)

      On a more earnest note, and with as much compassion as I can muster for a divisive extremist like you, your usage of the term “veganism” is a perversion of what a majority of people associate with it. I’d strongly recommend you to always prefix it with “political” or “extremist”, or you’re always bound to lose by default in any argument with anybody outside your bubble because you’re pretty much talking a different language.
