Welcome ex-Redditors!
  • Hexbear has the largest amount of trans people on one instance as far as I can tell. Lemmy.blahaj.zone is more specifically for trans and queer people, and the admin is trans herself. Lemmy.blahaj.zone is federated with most other instances while many have defederated hexbear because they don't like when trans people get too uppity. On lemmy.blahaj.zone we are considered the "good ones" or the more acceptable trans people by the other instances because this instance is less partisan/politically opinionated. Not a great situation, but the result is this instance is more widely federated.

  • You love to see it
  • My instance doesn't federate downvotes, I wonder how many All-scrollers are downvoting regardless of the community :P

    I think adopting chickens that need a better home and not shopping for them from breeders is totally reasonable

    Don't forget where we came from and what shaped us as a species. The Jungle.
  • It's not tongue in cheek. You described veganism as a dietary preference, but it is an ethical belief and practice. Keeping silent in the face of unethical behavior is normally seen as cowardly or, at the least, not a general positive. If you came upon a person kicking a child, you would likely want to intervene, not merely think to yourself that you wouldn't do the same.

    Here's a short medium post that sums it up decently, quoted for your convenience:

    Look through the comments of the latest Facebook post that has aroused the ire of non-vegans and you’re bound to see the following:

    ‘I don’t care if you’re vegan, just respect my choice not to be vegan.’

    ‘How come a vegan gets mad if you serve them meat but won’t serve you meat.’

    Stop telling other people how to eat!

    These reactions to the promotion of veganism and vegan food products would make complete sense if veganism were a dietary preference, akin to trying not to consume sugar or not liking pickles. But veganism is an ethical stance against the commodity status of animals. Following a vegan diet results when you follow this philosophy.

    When you understand the vegan philosophy, the idea of respecting someone’s choice to needlessly consume animal products no longer makes sense. Advocating that people stop using animals to the greatest extent possible is the ethical thing to do, and condoning animal use immoral. Serving non-vegan food to a vegan is rude but serving vegan food to a non-vegan is acceptable because, while a vegan has a moral conviction against eating animals, a non-vegan doesn’t believe that eating a meal without animal products is unethical. They’ve likely eaten Oreos or peanut butter on toast many times.

  • Don't forget where we came from and what shaped us as a species. The Jungle.
  • I have the same advice for you as I have for vegans: let people eat what they want to eat, mind your business, and keep your preferences to yourself unless you're asked.

    It seems you fundamentally misunderstand what veganism is

  • Judging by all the downvotes, you'd think they'd get the hint lol
  • Hopefully the fediverse can serve as a deradicalizing force for these reactionary newcomers. However it is interesting that they would want to use federated social media over corporate social media, given their worldview idolizing the market and meritocracy.

    Found this poor baby dehydrated and trapped in my screened-in porch so I gave her a warm water bath to rehydrate her before releasing her at the edge of the woods behind my house

    Edit: If you give a toad a warm water bath, you really need to make sure the water is safe. I had evian bottles for my pet toad, which I came to after testing many water sources for the right hardness, pH, etc. Tapwater often contains chlorine which can be harmful to amphibians and many brands of bottled water are too soft which can cause too much water to osmote into the amphibian's cells. You should also try to avoid touching a toad as your skin oils and any soap residue can be harmful (in this case I thoroughly washed and rinsed my hands before minimally handling the toad). If you find a trapped and dehydrated toad but don't have the right materials to help it out, try bringing it to a nearby damp and shady spot that it is likely already familiar with.
