  • Controlled by governments or controlled by corpos and the super rich? I say there's hardly an improvement.

  • As the article says, yes.

  • Sounds like a worse lemmy 😅

  • I think having a way for something like liberapay to be more closely coupled with your fediverse account so people can easily see one can accept donations would be good, but adding sub-only posts is a step too far I think.

  • Do not expect anything factual from llms. This is the wrong use case. You can role play with them if you guide them sufficiently and they can help with sone tasks like programming if you already know what you want but want to save time writing it, but anything factual is out of their scope.

  • Ye I don't particularly agree that one should try to make vegetarian cats myself either and I also think it's not coop to simply delete opposing research which doesn't mean match one's worldview (so long as the research is not flawed). But I also understand and can painfully see how embattled vegan ideas and spaces are which explains them being extra defensive

  • Anger shuts down critical thinking. This is why all reactionary content tries to make us angry (or scared).

    I never said to just "chill and sit back and let it happen." nor did I say not to criticize. But what you're doing is ragebaiting which is harmful

  • Are you done grandstanding? or should I get you a medal as well? It's ok, you can now have the last word.

  • Sorry mate, but there's no point in talking to you anymore. All you do is trying to ragebait and win the internet argument and there's no point in wasting time on that.

    I repeat that people should look for themselves in the discussions the vegans had in public and in their own threads where they didn't have to be so defensive and adversarial in the face of rando hate. If you're interested, see for yourselves whether they were unscientific or not but please don't trust summaries like these who just want to make you dismiss radicals vegans without further thought.

  • I haven't seen them try to push misinfo. If anything, I've seen them post scientific articles supporting their claims and accepting that it's an imperfect solution for an imperfect world.

    And yes, very radical people will have some radical fucking takes. Y'all are using this as a foothold to promote generalize anti-vegan hate in this thread. There's no nuance anymore, just bashing.

    And yes, just trying to make people angry by painting all vegans as "let's feed our cats veggies, YOLO" when their approach was way more careful and nuanced, is fucked up

  • This post is honestly an excuse for anti-vegan bashing. Even if some vegan mods have bad takes for cat nutrition it shouldn't excuse the hate circle jerk on display here .

    Remember to always be sceptical towards presentations that try to make you angry like this.

  • The commentary you're pointing is way more reasonable than you make it sound. I implore people to read the context themselves and not to trust summaries with rage bait agendas here.

    Stop doing the reddit thing. Making people angry at people more radical than them isn't helping.

  • I don't know enough about that topic to argue for or against which is not what I'm trying to argue

  • That's not the comment which caused this whole issue. It seems to me you're cherry picking out of context

  • Are you just posting a random comment to me or what? What relevance does this have to the admin retaliations?

  • I really hate how many people are spreading disinfo for no reason here. We should be better than that.

    The vegans stated very clearly that current science shows that the cat would need a fuckton of supplements and attention to be on a vegan diet but it's functional.

    The admins then overstepped and removed such comments.

    I'm not going to argue the validity of any of those claims as I'm not a vegan and I don't care to research, but the vegan mods were a lot more reasonable than they're being painted here.

  • Disclaimer that I'm not even a vegan but you're spreading disinfo here to make vegans seem completely unreasonable. I suggest anyone check out the actual discussions instead of trusting this summary.

  • Not quite. Bourgeois were the merchant class which was the middle one during feudal times. But now they have become the ruling class and the term has started changing in meaning, but the old use still Is valid

  • I'm really curious how someone can exploit a script that is meant to be running locally with no external facing interface
