Seriously. Wagner mercenaries are the only trained soldiers left in Russia after Putin sent his personal army to their deaths

To be very brief:

Beehaw seeks primarily to protect its users and create a space where they aren't going to be attacked for being who they are.

The Beehaw admins noticed they were dealing with a lot of hate from 2 lemmy instances which had open sign ups.

Beehaw defederated from those 2 instances.

There's been some kickback from people who think defederating goes against the core values of Lemmy.

That's all I've got, I'm sure others will be able to add to this

Then they block your site and prevent you ever doing business in one of the world's largest markets. I'm not sure how liability works but the CEO may also be unable to travel to the EU also

I'm loving the DJ! It does go off the rails a bit if you leave it on too long

I listen to a lot of different genres but I'm bad at sorting them so they're all just in a massiv playlist. The DJ plays them in little batches of similar genres which flows a lot better than the random shuffle

You misunderstand the ethics of veganism. Vegans aim to reduce suffering. So far, science points to most animals being likely to suffer similarly to how we as humans suffer, since we share evolutionary history and similar biological systems.

Plants do not share these systems, nor have any evolutionary pressure to be able to suffer or feel pain, since they would not be able to do anything about it anyway

It's not a blanket "living things are sacred"

Furthermore, if you really cared at all about the poor suffering plants, you'd know that the vast vast majority of plants grown by humans are fed inefficiently to animals. So, by going vegan, you'd be hugely reducing the number of plants you are causing harm to

Finally, carnivorous animals have literally nothing to do with veganism. Please stop trying to discredit a movement you don't even understand

You acknowledge here that animals feel pain and suffering and that you'd prefer not to cause pain and suffering to animals

If you have any sense you can see that you eating meat causes pain and suffering to animals, yet you continue to eat meat. Why do you decide to suffer this cognitive dissonance instead of just stopping causing suffering to innocents?
