*please note i deeply value and respect the vegan movement. i am just critical of how humorously it precipitates in online spaces, particularly this one. :)

    I get vegancirclejerk posts in my feed and in most cases I am not sure if these posts are serious or just making fun of vegans. Most of the time it looks like troll posts. It’s more like a meat-hate cult.

        Lemmy is too small and the mods too inactive. Most of what you see there is genuinely unironic carnism because bans dont get handed out, not what you normally get with a circlejerk sub.

          Hi there!

          I believe the old mods of vegancirclejerk were inactive, I was just recently promoted and hoping to change that perception! I agree, WAY too much unironic carnism is posted there.

            Great! I think there’s 3 separate vcj comms on different instances all with the same problem, so I’ll be glad if one improves.

          I think a big problem is that most people who stumble upon posts from Vegancirclejerk are random non-vegans who see it in their feed. Is it even possible to exclude communities from the everything feed on Lemmy?

          It’s a shame because VCJ and VFCJ were my favourite communities on Reddit but the vibe on their Lemmy counterpart is not quite there yet. I just want my cruelty free echo chamber back dammit.

            Yes it is, I have blocked several and never see them unless a sister on another instance gains traction
