lemmy.world does not align with the values of this server and we will be disallowing federation in the near future. Please switch to another instance if you would like to maintain access.

woah. I'm not on world, but I'm curious, if I may, why exactly the defederation? Do world users kinda brigade on here with anti-vegan BS? I may have noticed it I suppose, but maybe not specifically coming from world.

Yes, we are purging all neoliberal garbage from this server. Lemmy.world functions as a mouthpiece for state propaganda. There are too many users and its structure is bad for the fediverse as a whole. The drive by downvotes and trolls mostly seem to come from large generalist instances and this is social media for real people we are taking steps to protect ourselves and whatever community we can eek out.

To make it worse they are now running ~~a "AI" based~~ lazily programmed "bias check" bots. The US and its allies are not reputable thus having them run bias check databases is a joke. This, along with similar AI tools in my view is building the tools for totalitarianism and should not be tolerated. Using automation to lazily check sources using only billionaire funded media as "reputable sources" of truth is disgusting. Blocking the bot isn't enough, I don't want that at all. Anyone who is building these tools are the enemy of free people.

I am assisting with some final cleanup here then I will pass the admin role and community stuff to a friend and be out. I will probably post my pics to this community but the rest of lemmy has lost interest to me personally.

edit removed AI based, I guess it is dumber than I thought. I still do not want bots doing any kind of bias check in which US point of views are considered neutral.

Thanks!

Having not paid much attention to the bits, I hadn’t thought of this. Thanks. Interestingly, the head world is Dutch IIRC.

but the rest of lemmy has lost interest to me personally.

Sad to hear and understandable I suppose. If I may ask … what is that’s lost you … a rampant US centric Reddit mainstream culture settling in without enough niche communities thriving?

[-] hamid@vegantheoryclub.org 4 points 4 weeks ago

What lost me is the non stop US politics and tacit support of wars and violence. I do not care about the US, its politics, or wars between corrupt neoliberal countries. Frankly it is annoying to see nothing but that on my feed while those same people down vote my posts and post about me on drama communities. I really don't want to pay to host literal US propaganda coming from lemmy.world and be personally responsible for transmitting their perverse messaging.

Vegan Home Cooks

Come join the Vegan Home Cooks!

Participation is really easy, just take a picture of what you cooked today and post it, no recipes needed.


This is a public forum for a discord server of friends who are all vegans and cook at home for their families.

We are here to share some inspiration, to see what others are doing and to stay engaged in something that is both our hobby and a required task.

This forum is not a "food porn" community, a recipe book or a place to teach you how to cook. It is a place for people who already cook to meet other people like themselves and provide on topic support and conversation as much as long distance friends on the internet can do. We are doing show and tell about what we made and we don't care about its instagram worthiness.

Veganism isn’t a diet but I have to eat every day. This is for the vegan home cooks. Anything non vegan will be deleted.


Rules

1. Be Vegan.

If it is not vegan it doesn’t belong here… or anywhere.

2. Post home cooking.

No restaurant or fast food. This is what every other vegan space is about and we don’t want to promote any large or small business tyrants.

3. Join the Discord

We’re an active community of vegan home cooks that like to talk about what we are cooking today.

4. Do not make any rude comments or digs at anyone’s food, cooking style, specific diet, restrictions or technique.

While we are all cooks, we all have different requirements and we’re not asking for help, we are doing show and tell.

5. Do not use trademarked brands

Use generic names. We’re cooking with tvp not whatever business brands it and we’re not trying to turn comrades into billboards. No plant-based vegan-pandering capitalist crap like Impossible, Beyond, Dairy-company owned “vegan” cheese.

6. Do not ask for a recipe without otherwise engaging the OP (No posts that are just “recipe?”)

We are not food bloggers. Sometimes we're excited to share and will tell you the recipes we used but this isn't required. Instead try doing your own research and tell us what you learned and we can talk about it.

7. Careful with making unasked for suggestions.

Sometimes we like to hear suggestions but you should be nice about it and know the person you are making suggestions to. We are in the discord and you can get to know us that way. If you are just a visitor from the fediverse, this isn’t the place for you to start telling other people what to do.

8. Grown Ups Only.

Cooking for our kids is great, Acting like one is not. While this isn't a community for adult material we expect everyone who participates to be an adult and act like one. Please follow the Anarchists Code of Conduct. No profane usernames allowed.
