Hi all, thank you for the community and hope you are all doing well.
I feel like the vegan presence on lemmy is quite small compared to what it was on the other site and I’m curious how we can build our community here.
I’ve been vegan for over 7 years and am generally a lurker on sites like this but think that due to all the climate awareness I would rather be the single person “enlightening” others to a different worldview than someone solely upvoting others who have the wherewithal to post and put their voice out there.
Maybe this isn’t necessarily the vibe people like but awareness is everything. What do you think?
I feel like this kind of post always devolves into people calling moderates “pickmes” and the radicles just expecting everyone to agree with them already.
no offense, your intentions are good.
Fair enough, I get it. Not trying to only start arguments with no real learning. There are many ways to execute activism, and I’m curious about everyone’s perspective on how we might do this differently on lemmy.
Generally it seems like this is not really the place for it. Having conversations with real people in real situations usually provides a much better response and opportunity for growth.
