TIL - Pandanus tectorius, also known as Hala fruit, has segmented, large fruits with a diameter of 4–20 cm and a length of 8–30 cm. The fruits are made up of 38–200 wedge-like keys (phalanges)
Looks really similar to Araucaria angustifolia's fruit

Who have logs of how users vote?

Vote brigading matters. If you're subscribed to a 'controversial' community and every post gets downvoted to oblivion, you and other subscribers who sort by 'hot/top' won't see the post unless they go directly to the community.
This slowly kills the community, even if its users are active on Lemmy.

"Being vegan is unnatural"

An act being natural or unnatural is not a reason to say that action is good or bad. I think we all agree unecessarily harming a sentient being is bad though.

Lemmy devs are considering making all votes public - have your say
Reply in thread
Not only admins can see the votes, but anyone on Fediverse (except regular Lemmy users) can see them.
Security through obscurity is prone to failure when it is used by itself. If people want their votes to actually be private then another method of securing their privacy should be created.

You can't say you're against bestiality while financially supporting it at the same time. Otherwise you're a hypocrite.

Fun fact: acrobatics are made with lower hydration dough.
If you want dough with crispy outside and soft inside you're looking for a 65-70% hydration. Acrobatics with this will rip it apart. To open a higher hydration dough you use this technique: https://youtu.be/xzbW8CZx538

Are fossil fuels vegan?

Cows need to be impregnated by introducing an arm in their anus and holding their cervix so they can introduce a rod with semen in their uterus.
Male cows and chickens are useless to the industry so they usually get killed soon after birth.
Chickens usually are kept in cages the size of an A4 paper, cows also usually are very badly treated in order to be milked. Check out https://3minutes.wtf/ so you can see that even what the industry calls the "best animal treatment" is still very inhumane.

Agreed, also recommend doing this completely in private so they don't feel like there may be other people listening to your offer.

Lemmy votes ARE public, should they be anonymous?
Reply in thread
I completely agree with the idea of more accountability. We are real people in acting public right here, we should be constantly aware that our actions have consequences. If you don't want your pseudonym associated with a vote, don't do it. It's kinda like the opposite of 4chan, where instand of anonymous controversial content on top, here we have human-curated content being pushed up.

What it the instance signs the activity? Then it propagates to others instances after local validation. That way only local admins would have access to voting data. Malicious instances could still be defederated/blocked/have votes disregarded.

How do we grow?
I feel that people are on Lemmy because of their convictions and are more willing to boycott something they condone.
We can just keep posting motivating stuff and it will reach c/all. Showing the truth about the way we exploit animals will convince the ones who truly care about them.
Recently I saw another topic here with lots of comments from c/all and it was a shitshow, with lots of vegans calling people narcissists and generally putting people in a defensive position. That is something we should really avoid.
We should make compelling arguments so people can read them and change their minds about what they're supporting. Try to be thoughtful even if the other person is not. Lots of people will end up reading your comment anyway.
If you find someone who really don't care about animals, the best option is just not engage. Making a negative comment is awful and off-putting.

If you can create a Lemmy instance and federate, you can shovel data about every vote linked to an account
Reply in thread
All federated data (thus public) should be easily available to the end user. Otherwise we create a false sense of security.

If fossil fuels aren't vegan that would mean almost nobody is actually vegan.

It's a common viewpoint among vegans that systems that depend on animal exploitation should be abolished. On the other hand, systems that contain animal exploitation should be improved.
I'll give two examples with human animals so it can be clear: Slavery? Should be abolished. People getting ran over and killed by cars? We should improve that.

They pushed this change with the always online dev kit. I believe the price change is a smoke screen for the other changes. Soon they might step back on this decision.

I conceive the freedom to chose on a personal ethical base above the idea of punching down ideas just because.
I agree it's a choice, but I don't think it's a personal one given that there is another sentient being victimized in the action.
A bit on the motivation behind vegan activism:
Say you're against needlessly exploiting animals. And you purchase/produce animal products when there are other options available. You would be needlessly exploiting animals while affirming a contradiction, that would be hypocrisy. Nobody can force you to act on that, but they can point what you're accountable for.
Vegans believe that most people are against needlessly exploiting animals, so they try to show this to people. Confusion may get in the way, but wanting to put on the spotlight what kind of exploitation people are supporting is what guides them.

How would it be thought good to continue the same use of animals?
Reply in thread
Veganism is not about animal suffering, but needless animal exploitation.
Is the medicine needed for you? Then it isn't needless animal exploitation.
Do you have other options besides exploiting animals to death for food? Then it is needless animal exploitation.
