Rules

The rules are subject to change, especially upon community feedback.

Discrimination is not tolerated. This includes speciesism.

Topics not relating to veganism are subject to removal.

Posts are to be as accessible as practicable:

embedded images of text require alt-text
posts with an image of text should have a transcription in the body or alt-text
paywalled articles must have an accessible non-paywalled link;
use the original source whenever possible for a news article.

Content warnings are required for triggering content.

Bad-faith carnist rhetoric & anti-veganism are not allowed, as this is not a space to debate the merits of veganism. Anyone is welcome here, however, and so good-faith efforts to ask questions about veganism may be given their own weekly stickied post in the future.

before jumping into the community, we encourage you to read examples of common fallacies here.
if you’re asking questions about veganism, be mindful that the person on the other end is trying to be helpful by answering you and treat them with at least as much respect as they give you.

Posts and comments whose contents – text, images, etc. – are largely created by a generative AI model are subject to removal. We want you to be a part of the vegan community, not a multi-head attention layer running on a server farm.

No brigading, either off-site or on-site. An incitement to brigade includes two elements: a call to disruptive action and a specific direction outside of this community in which to take that action. Exceptions include:

Calls to boycott.
Calls to in-person protest of a government, high-profile individual, or company/organization.
Votes provided they have a sufficiently broad target audience or provably effective controls against vote brigading.
Petitions.

All Lemmy.World Terms of Service also apply.

More people can view the community from the local level that then increases the visibility of the posts on the threadverse.
