An online space for the vegans of Lemmy.

Rules and miscellaneous:

  1. 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)
  2. 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
  3. Use content warnings and NSFW tags for triggering content
  4. Circlejerking belongs to /c/vegancirclejerk
  5. All posts should abide by Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Should I be an aggressive vegan? (lemmy.ml)

Should I be aggressively vegan? Should I isolate myself from all my non-vegan friends which equals all my friends? Should I kill over veganism? I feel complicit but I don't want to lose all my friends. Should I get over it?

the veganfreak podcast said it best IMHO, primarily you need to be a healthy and happy vegan , you need to present to people a positive vision of what being a vegan might be like to them, it needs to be something they could see themselves doing. Be happy, be excited about what you eat , share that with others. I know billions of animals get murdered each day and we need to stop that but I think the slow game I laid out above is the only real way.
