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.

    And if I and all other vegans started eating meat, they’d need to produce even more.

    You do realise me eating meats means the world has to produce more meat right?

    If Billy has 5 marbles, and Johnny asks for a marble, Billy now has 4 marbles. Billy will have to get another marble to have 5 again.

    If Johnny doesn’t ask for marble, Billy will still have 5 marbles.

    Am I going to fast for you?

        Billy is making marbles. Billy now has five marbles. Johnny buys all five marbles. Billy now has to make more.

        One day, Johnny stops buying marbles. Question, does Billy endlessly continue making marbles forever? Or does Billy stop once he realises demand is causally linked to supply?

        Let me know if this is still too complex.

      there is no reason to believe more could have been produced than already was.
