People consider vegans on Lemmy as too preachy. Even in vegan communities here, mods have to remove soooo many inappropriate comments (I read a few of these and they keep getting removed for good reasons). Comments that suggest going vegan on posts about animal abuse are downvoted.

At the same time, whenever there is something about Windows or Chromium based browsers, people here are doing exactly the same. “Just use Linux/Firefox/whatever”.

    Seems like you’re describing both sides of this argument.

          Nah, I make comments like that and I only went vegan at 28 and after having thought about animal ethics and my consumption behavior. It really does seem like you are saying these things to make yourself feel better.

            And that’s what gave you a superiority complex? It doesn’t sound like your self reflection was very beneficial.

              See, it’s that knee-jerk accusation that makes people think you are acting this way to not have to actually think about it 🤷

                Right. I haven’t made the same choices as you, so I obviously haven’t reached the next stage of human evolution like a superior individual such as yourself.
