*please note i deeply value and respect the vegan movement. i am just critical of how humorously it precipitates in online spaces, particularly this one. :)

Its a circlejerk, the whole idea is to troll

Lemmy is too small and the mods too inactive. Most of what you see there is genuinely unironic carnism because bans dont get handed out, not what you normally get with a circlejerk sub.

carnism

you are the person this post is about

Hi there!

I believe the old mods of vegancirclejerk were inactive, I was just recently promoted and hoping to change that perception! I agree, WAY too much unironic carnism is posted there.

Great! I think there's 3 separate vcj comms on different instances all with the same problem, so I'll be glad if one improves.

I think a big problem is that most people who stumble upon posts from Vegancirclejerk are random non-vegans who see it in their feed. Is it even possible to exclude communities from the everything feed on Lemmy?

It's a shame because VCJ and VFCJ were my favourite communities on Reddit but the vibe on their Lemmy counterpart is not quite there yet. I just want my cruelty free echo chamber back dammit.

Yes it is, I have blocked several and never see them unless a sister on another instance gains traction

Yeah seems like it, either way it's cringe. On one hand these are sicere and that is just too bad for vegan comunity, on the other hand it's pure trolling - which is just sad.
