[Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism?

Seen a lot of posts on Lemmy with vegan-adjacent sentiments but the comments are typically very critical of vegan ideas, even when they don’t come from vegans themselves. Why is this topic in particular so polarising on the internet? Especially since unlike politics for example, it seems like people don’t really get upset by...

For Pete’s sake. I’m getting tired of really getting into anime that only has one season and no news of a season 2 yet. The PSD really sucks.

Will be my 1-year anniversary on Mastodon and the fediverse in June. Been that long since I left Reddit.

But I still feel very much like a noob. For example, I have a hard time grasping why I can’t sign into my Mastodon profile (https://lemmy.world/u/Hyphlosion@donphan.social ) on lemmy. There’s obviously a profile of my posts, so why can’t I sign into it on lemmy and use it?

I got screwed over by the weather. Too windy and the wind is very very cold. At least I got a perfect IV Cyndaquil from a remote raid!

Not appreciating Drampa’s artificial scarcity…

Can’t even do remote raids on the PokeRaids app because they fill up faster than I can tap on them.

Watched Pokémon GO like a hawk yesterday and only ONE Drampa raid appeared in my general area.

Bye, shadow Metang. Thanks for being so far out that only two Premier Balls actually hit you, and of course you’d pop out of those ones.

This is fine. 🥲

Five bucks says that the word salad that is the description for the new #eShop #XBox #Steam game Cynthia: Hidden in the Mood Shadow is AI generated. I mean:

"Travel through Tesana Valley to find a secretly hidden missing piece of artifact to enhance your bow."

I’m thinking about getting the Dungeons & Dragons Bundle on #NintendoSwitch while it’s on sale on the #eShop. That’s one of the most heavily discounted sales on the eShop I’ve ever seen.

Anyone here who’ve played the #Switch ports of these games wanna share how they fare on the system?

#Disney Again, I must ask: Why is The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad an anthology? It makes absolutely no sense. What is the theme connecting the two?

Had the theme been “Disney Classic Storytime,” I guess that would’ve been fine? Sort of? But hell, after Toad’s story, we all of a sudden change to a narrator with a transatlantic accent. What?

So instead it feels like the theme is “On one side of the pond, an anthropomorphic toad is up to shenanigans and his friends are trying to keep him from having fun, but on the other side of the pond, a headless horseman is murdering a village.”

• Episode I -

Welcome to the start of my #DreamTeam micro series, where I share my thoughts about my favorite team on Pokémon Sleep.

Each episode will focus on a single member of my team and may or may not branch out into something more if I can think of something else to do with it. (Most likely not.)

For fun, I wanted each Pokémon on my team to have a sleep pun for their nickname. The app itself is starting to ebb a bit, so I wanted to make things more interesting.

Future episodes will be posted at 8AM PST. See you then!

Reddit calls for “a few new mods” after axing, polarizing some of its best (arstechnica.com)

As Twitter destroys its brand by renaming itself X, Mastodon user numbers are again soaring | TechCrunch (techcrunch.com)

As Twitter ditches its iconic branding in favor of owner Elon Musk's favorite letter "X," its open source competitor Mastodon is once again seeing usage numbers soar.

I feel like Fediverse users are nicer to each other and more generous with upvotes than reddit.

i’m doing it because I want to make the fediverse more friendly place, in hopes of making it more welcoming for new users, and the nicer place in general. But I wonder how much is just less bots.

After putting my all into #PokemonGO yesterday and not even seeing a single ✨ Johto starter, I am going to do the bare minimum for the Community Event tomorrow.

I literally threw money at Niantic to get more balls, incubators, etc. You’d think they would at least throw me a bone. But nooooo.

I played the game so damn hard yesterday that I caught enough of each #Johto Starter to have one of each evolution for each starter.

It’s nearing midnight on the day after, and my body is still screaming at me. (#LongCovidSucks)

So yeah, I would’ve not done Community Day at all this time had I not already paid for it. Just gonna stick around home mostly this time because I still feel like garbage. Thanks, Niantic. I’ll be salty for quite a while.

I had my heart set on a ✨ Cyndaquil. That’s all I wanted. You jerks. You absolute jerks.

I keep seeing #lemmy and #kbin promoted as #reddit alternatives these days, but hardly any mention of #squabbles. Pardon my ignorance as someone completely new to the #fediverse, but I feel like this is a mistake.

Do people actually like being downvoted for their opinions or something? Do people actually like the ability to downvote others?

Squabbles doesn’t have that stupid karma system, and that alone puts it ahead of lemmy and kbin in my book.

(Don’t know about you, but I’m tired of the downvote system being used as a “I don’t like your opinion, so I’m going to be passive-aggressive and press this button in an attempt to censor you” function. Hivemind, Internet bullying is what it is. That’s one of the reasons why I came to Mastodon first.)

Also, Squabbles feels very fresh as well as wholesome and chill. I might just join in one of these times.
