The reasonable folks among us are turned off by all of yall (the loud and angry folks, and those coming out of the woodwork to argue with vegan people), but it’s hard to be swayed to veganism when that’s the miasma.
Nearly every online platform is like this, about almost every subject. Like I said, some people arguing with trolls online should not affect you becoming vegan. You might think the community has poor moderation and not want to join it, but why would it affect whether you contribute to farm animals dying or not? That’s why I think it is just a convenient excuse to deflect.
Lemmy has a loud and angry vegan community.

Why would someone being an asshole to you prevent you from eating animals? That doesn’t make sense.
Human psychology.

You think it is inherently true that your belief is right.
Not everyone does.
The vitriol doesn’t convince the people.
That’s the point I’m making.
I think this is something we will have to agree to disagree about, then.
I don’t believe tone policing actually helps convince people of social causes. You can be nice and sweet and still get spat on. That is the reality.
You’re disagreeing with what we know about human nature, so do you but that’s also on you.
