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.
I’m not vegan but I respect people for wanting a space to discuss.

vegantheoryclub.org is defederated from most of lemmy, but these communities are accessible and they are located on other instances.
@[email protected] what communities do you prefer?
The mods here were deleting any comments (correctly) suggesting that vegan diets are unhealthy for housecats, so whatever “discussion” you thought was possible before the admins came around wasn’t happening, because the mods forbid any discussion that includes difficult facts.
Seems like a red flag.
I personally just visit the community [email protected] since it is hosted and ran completely by vegans.
I would recommend the instances of VeganTheoryClub and Lemmy.vg to experience the vegan subculture without censorship.
I tried to sub, but I’ve been waiting at pending for months
It could because the instances slowly federating more instances on a case by case basis.
Theres also hexbear.net/c/vegan and hexbear.net/c/food, in fact the whole instance has a vegan-as-the-norm mindset even if not everyone is vegan.
Maybe I’m misunderstanding something but when I go to the instance list on lemmy.world it lists vegantheoryclub.org as being a linked instance. For good measure I also made sure that it wasn’t on the blocked instances list. But when I try to view any community that exists on vegantheoryclub.org from lemmy.world it gives an error as if the entire instance is blocked.
If an instance is defederated it would show up on the blocked instance list right? That’s literally what that is a lost of is it not? And if so was vegantheoryclub very recently defederated and the list just hasn’t been updated or something?
To give more context the Instance Vegan Theory Club defederated from Lemmy World since there were too many troll comments originating from there.
It only shows up as blocked if the instance is actively blocking it. VeganTheoryClub blocks LemmyWorld, but not the other way around but once an instance blocks it, traffic will not go through in either directions.
Ah, that makes sense. I hadn’t considered that they might be blocking it the other way around. Thank you.
