An online space for the vegans of Lemmy.
Rules and miscellaneous:
- We take for granted that if you engage in this community, you understand that veganism is about the animals. You either are vegan for the animals, or you are not (this is not to say that discussions about climate/environment/health are not allowed, of course)
- No omni/carnist apologists. This is not a place where to ask to be hand-holded into veganims. Omnis coddling/backpatting is not tolerated, nor are /r/DebateAVegan-like threads
- Use content warnings and NSFW tags for triggering content
- Circlejerking belongs to /c/vegancirclejerk
- All posts should abide by Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Honestly, all for-profit advertisement should be banned. But meat seems a really good start, so kudos to them!
Petroleum next pls
It's literally designed to increase unnecessary consumption, in a world already burned out by that consumption. Additionally, it has literally zero benefit for the consumer, while manipulating and controlling it's behavior (by design) to make them move as much money as possible to the companies.
Well, on that benefit: you could get the same information from non-for-profit sources, in a more neutral and ethical way.
On the banning topic: I'm from Spain, and here smoking is not banned, but heavily restricted, and avdertisement on it it's banned everywhere. Basically, as a society we want to avoid more people being harmed, so we restrict it.
As with anything, it's not a matter of full ban or full allow, but if it is mostly harmful for the people and the planet, yeah, it should be heavily restricted. Like pollution, like drugs, and so many other things... When someone's freedom affects everyone basics rights, we ought to act.
