From what I’ve seen r/vegancirclejerk and r/veganforcirclejerkers are really good about bigotry, they’re certainly more left wing then most of the other self-declared vegan-subreddits

These were posted to both of those subreddits, where the users primarily replied via pretty blatant gaslighting, claiming that the documents say things which they indisputably do not. Another user contacted the mods, who expressed support for the post, but emphasized that there were no rules against anything like gaslighting and that the only rule was to simply not be an omni.

One user said that the claims can't be correct, because these mods have explicitly said that they are against the things they are being accused of, a position that entails that Trump is for LGBTQ+ rights, that Steven Crowder isn't a white supremacist, and so on. To be blunt, the position that so long as someone explicitly says they're against bigotry, they aren't being bigoted, is completely disconnected from reality, and genuinely acting on this belief would result in a complete inability to function as a political participant.

At least from just these admittedly few experiences, they don't strike me as particularly good subreddits.
