Edit: I am sorry, about my emotional decision i reinstated @Eevoltic and @naevaTheRat@lemmy.dbzer0.com as mods After researching myself, many non scientific sites say its not healthy and some say its unethical, one (1) research paper says it is at least NOT unhealthy, but it has few points of data and i didnt found any other scientific paper about this…

- The cognitive dissonance is quite ironic isn't it?

  Lmao fuck, I was reading from top to bottom
  
  They put that shit in their TOS?? Fucking dumbasses
  
  6
- Yeah I feel like their TOS update banned discussions/promotions of meat eating but I am not sure they realise that.

Holy shit actual facts.

I've avoiding arguing about this because I'll just be drowned out but gotta say it's worn on me the amount of people calling us hiltlarian dictators because we gasp want to let vegans post vegan shit without constantly having to defend themselves.

14
- I can imagine. Solidarity.

  Thanks comrade, mad appreciation for the nice server you run here. I've found some really interesting reading thanks to the users and you seem to have a great culture.

Rooki is such a pest across so many different communities...

10
- Real big "I'm Important Because I'm A Moderator" vibes from that guy

Thanks for the summary! I didn't hear about these events at all...

Except B12 / cobalamin.

B12 is a ass of a nutrient. It doesn't even get absorbed properly.

But it's also availible in liquid form. So there's that - and tastes kinda nice too.

8
- Sauerkraut and kimchi have B12
  
  1
- You probably had bad luck with the manufacturer and what you're tasting is other substances. Pills have no issue, and liquid form seems like a weird way to get it orally. If you're referring to injections, sure.
  
  B12 is always absorbed in tiny amounts orally, whatever or whoever you are eating.
  
  1
  
  Nono, I'm refering to the properties of B12 itself.
  
  Its oral absorption is just very poor. Apparently only ~1%. So the doses must be immense. But humans only need miniscule amounts. The solution I use has 20,000% MRV. And most supplements have insanely high doses to solve this problem.
  
  On the other hand: B12 is also available through dairy products or in egg-based foods. So it's usually only a problem if one is completly vegan and, as stated, easily subverted.
  
  But you have to be aware of it. Because it's not "always absorbed in tiny amounts" just because you eat something. To quote Wikipedia:
  
  Vitamin B12 is […] the only vitamin that must be sourced from animal-derived foods or supplements.
  
  Also, cool hack:
  It's also bright red and can color drinks. That's cool.

I'm too old for meta drama. Turn !vegan@lemmy.world into a read-only group with automated posts by a mod and locking. Let them downvote and move on.

7
- I'm certainly trying to deprecate this connection to Lemmy.world.

Thanks for the summary. It's been a shame it seems nobody cares about what happened, because nearly everyone on lemmy hates vegans. The community on lemmy world is in a weird spot right now and I don't see it lasting much longer. I'll recommend anyone still on that community to check this one out (among others) as a replacement in an upcoming post.

6
- Thank you for advocating for yourself and others. You and your friends are welcome here.

  Could you append this to your post? This is the latest update from us

It may be worth adding the new "Proposal for a weekly AskVegans sticky post" from !vegan@lemmy.world, as it says there's a new moderator and implies that the community is not getting locked. The new lemmy.zip server update also dedicated a paragraph to the "fediverse moderation issues/drama", with the admin in the comments confirming it's in reference to the "vegan thread".

6
- Updated!
  
  4
  
  Nice! Also of note may be the comments by the main Lemmy developer Dessalines, and by the lemmy.dbzer0.com owner. Perhaps in brackets after the "future" post, unless individual comments by notable people are out of scope.

Is this kind of behavior by the admin normal and accepted on lemmy?

5
- No, they made a post about it
  
  5
- I would recommend treating it as normal. In the end, those who pay for and operate the servers make the rules.

I'mma eat what I enjoy. I don't look at it beyond that. Sometimes it's vegan/vegetarian, sometimes it's not.

3
Yea but meat is what we have evolved to eat as a source of food.

3
- Why'd you think you should come into a vegan community, in a thread about moderation, to say something unrelated to a group that will think you're an ass for doing so? Did you just forget your /s? Or are you really that bad at being a decent human being?
