Hello vegans!

I gave the last discussion on new rules (more rules at all) and call for moderators some room.

Now I would like to announce a our new moderator [email protected]!

Also the rules and info have been updated according to the proposal.

As always, feel free to leave your thoughts!

Hello vegans!

A while ago I started a discussion to have your input on the future of this community.

I try to summarize the feedback in the following:

• Generally, people are happy but would like to see a more specific community around anti-capitalist veganism
• There is an overload of "news" and "studies", which might be interesting, but not always relevant in the framework of solarpunk. There could maybe be a vegan-news-like community better suited for such content.
• More discussion and actionable information

Community motto that was proposed and I like: A place for solarpunks working toward a world without speciesism

Proposed community rules:

• This is not a place to debate veganism
• There is no place for (carnist) trolls
• No promotion of commercial products
• No speciesism
• No promotion of violence in any way

Generally, the rules should be enforced carefully and only when a post or comment stands in clear violation.

Inviting people to help moderate: Comment on the respective comment if you would like to be a moderator. Some people already reached out to me, please also comment there, so everyone can see who the prospective moderators would be.

Let me know if you would like to change, add or remove something!

why i left the left the left the left

The community has grown steadily and now has more than 1000 subscribers. My approach so far was very laid back and I did not remove posts or ban many people, unless some very clear cases of spam and trolling.

In recent times, more user reports have reached me, which I did not act upon. This is also due to a lack of rules.

My original intention was to have a space for discussion, also with non-vegans. I see that the community is mostly passive with posts being links to external sites with few comments, also to sites of the posters. I personally don't mind and the upvotes tend to be >80%, which is a sign that a large majority likes this kind of posts.

This is why I want to ask you:

• Would you like to see more regulation on this community?
• What rules should be applied?
• What would you specifically not like to see?

I'm also open to have more moderators than just me for this community and general ideas for improving this community.

Thank you for your input! 🌱

I have a stainless steel pan which works great to fry most veggies, but I can't manage to cook tofu, tempeh and meat alternatives in it. They just stick too much, no matter how much oil and patience I try. Then I have a non-stick pan which is kinda old and it needs to be replaced.

What do you use? I think about getting a cast iron or carbon steel pan, but I don't know how well it will work and if it's worth it...

“We gave it to you as a gift, but apparently you despise it. So it will be just fine here at home"

Looks pretty cool, I'm hyped

Ich hatte die Idee bereits als ich die ersten Kraftwerke hier gesehen habe, aber [email protected] ist mir zuvorgekommen. Ich pfostiere es trotzdem, vielleicht findet es ja jemand lustig oder so.

Und bitte entschuldigt die angelsächsische Typenbeschreibung...

Das #Vertrauen in die #Wissenschaften scheint zunehmend zu bröckeln. Die Pandemie-Jahre, zurückgehaltene Forschungsergebnisse oder solche, die sich im Nachhinein als falsch erwiesen haben, haben diesen Trend zusätzlich verstärkt. Dann noch #Populisten, die Zweifel sähen und gezielte #Desinformation betreiben. Wem soll man da noch glauben? Gert Scobel schaut sich in einem neuen Video an, wie es um das Vertrauen in Wissenschaften bestellt ist.

Welcome to the world of data colonialism, where the continuous extraction of data from our lives generates massive wealth for the few and suffering for the many on a global scale.

Andrewism at it again 🔥

While watching the video I couldn't stop thinking about the fediverse. It's basically self-organized social-media. While it is far from perfect it is so much better than the corporate alternative in terms of relevant content. I'm just sad that basically nobody I know personally actually uses the fediverse...

Our world is built up of roads and cars to get us to our destination! But what about cycling and even walking? Have we been brainwashed to think that the car is always king?
Si goes on a deep dive into just how we are convinced to think that modern car culture is acceptable in our lives!

I think this is why I like solarpunk. It enables us to imagine a better world, focused on us instead of the economy or whatever society thinks the most important construct is.
