Hi all, thank you for the community and hope you are all doing well.
I feel like the vegan presence on lemmy is quite small compared to what it was on the other site and I’m curious how we can build our community here.
I’ve been vegan for over 7 years and am generally a lurker on sites like this but think that due to all the climate awareness I would rather be the single person “enlightening” others to a different worldview than someone solely upvoting others who have the wherewithal to post and put their voice out there.
Maybe this isn’t necessarily the vibe people like but awareness is everything. What do you think?
Agree, arguments don’t really get anywhere and typically just lean towards many people chiming in about how they don’t want to be told what to do. The discussion and comments I like to provide are more about bringing a different perspective than telling anyone what to do, but people generally respond the same way (defensive/negative).
Appreciate your feedback, mostly curious because I was more of a lurker in the past but feel like I could always do more.
