A carnist lemmy world instance admin has stepped in and meatsplained to the mods while restoring comments that violated the community’s rules. They deleted comments that they did not agree with, citing ‘misinformation’, and threatened to demod the mods if those comments were removed again. The comments were deleted and the admin was banned from the community as per violating the rules of the community, that was until they unbanned themselves (admin abuse) and unmodded two of the moderators because of “promoting harmfull actions against pets”.

As far as it stands, if the lemmy world community wasn’t already not a safe vegan place for you (it really wasn’t) it most certainly isn’t now as carnists (lemmy world instance admin) currently mod it.

I suggest any vegan who wants a safe and welcoming space to come and interact with vegantheoryclub.org. Sorry for any inconvienance that this may have caused. I am deeply upset at the admins actions today and don’t condone them whatsoever.

    Here’s the thread (archive link) that the admin intervened in:

    @[email protected], cats CAN NOT survive for long with a vegan diet. Its dangerous for them. Cats are carnivores.

    Please refrain from removing warnings about such dangerous facts. Everyone who killed their cats by doing so, have a nice rest of your life knowing you killed your loved pet.

    p.s. yes i am a cat owner.

    Edit: to the rest of the mods: Dont promote harmfull things for pets. @[email protected] and @Eevoltic are demoted.

    If anyone else thinks pets should be vegan i have no problem banning them for being a troll and promoting killing pets.

    Just that you heard it from me too: YES cats can survive vegan diet for few months but prolonged exposure and it gets harmful for the pet and even death.

    This is why I banned them and would do it again if I could. They’re actively spreading misinformation and being incredibly aggressive about this for some reason.

        They are, but that’s a term about ecology. In a natural environment they must derive their nutrients from meat because they are unable to get them from plants.

        That’s because they lack the ability to grind plants/process large amounts of fibre, absorb nutrients gradually etc. If you try to keep a cat alive on whole lentils or something they will get sick and die, however if you feed a cat pelletised mixtures of nutrients refind from plants they will be fine (as long as you include taurine).

        Many commercial cat foods already use plant derived nutrients and synthetic taurine.
