Thanks for making this sub! Since both you and me were banned by an admin, shouldn’t this be made on another instance, since next, the admin might sitewide ban us?
hey, just wanted to clarify, the ban only occurred because of violations specified in the sidebar of /c/vegan and only extends to /c/vegan, not the entire instance, which, if you look hard enough, contains content and communities which go directly against the principles of veganism
you’re free to interpret veganism as you wish and set up communities around your perception/interpretation of veganism
I don’t see how any of these rules were broken by my messages, but nevermind. Even if I were unbanned, I would not wish to engage with that community anymore.
I received confirmation from admins that this community members will not be banned site-wide just because we formed this parallel, more inclusive, vegan community. Let’s get back to the topic, shall we? 😉
sure 👍
You’re the admin’s alt acct?
yeah, i’m also moderating /c/vegan, though i’m not the admin that banned you
You are correct that there is a risk. I’m willing to take it because this is more or less the flagship instance of Lemmy, and I would “hate” if people finding Lemmy.ml and inquiring about veganism would only find the community of that admin.
If this community is banned, I suppose we will need to fallback on another instance, as you are suggesting. Are you ok with this strategy?
Sounds good with me and I like your subversive strategy!
Obligatory inb4 site wide ban. Just so if it happens I can say “told ya so” lol

My thoughts exactly.
Happy to have both of you here.
Why were you banned (I’m just curious, you don’t have to answer this).
I have been banned after making posts in this thread: https://lemmy.ml/post/302888/comment/202485
The reason that the admin gave is:
Giving green pass to animal exploitation, trolling and supposed discrimination by age
I decided to alert other Lemmy admins about the behavior of that specific admin. I’m not trying to be unbanned. It was made very clear that the c/vegan is for radical vegans only and I’m fine with that. I just don’t want Lemmy vegan community to be forced to conform to the ideology of that admin or be stranded. Hence, I created this more inclusive community
Oh I see.
It’s a pretty reasonable comment and I agree that non-militant vegans or even people curious about veganism need a place to express their thoughts. It means should be forcing their personal beliefs on a community.
