Exactly my experience. I often heard stories of vegans being like that, but I never ever saw it so I thought it was just made up to belittle vegans.
Then I joined lemmy and found out that I’m apparently in favour of massacres, slavery and rape because I consume meat/milk/eggs from time to time.
I imagine the vast majority of vegans just go about their lives and resprectfully discuss the ethics of animal consumption when the topic comes up, but these loud militant members really make vegans look bad and they sure as hell make it so that even less people consider going vegan
Most of southeastern Europe uses Viber as the “default messaging app”, so it does vary by region.
I’ve been using MetaGer for a long time and have been very satisfied with it. So sad to see it go. Time to look for a new search engine.
