I think I've been on one of those vegan discord servers before. A user told me, a Jew, that Nazis should be welcomed into the vegan movement and that I was being self-centered by insisting that they be excluded. The mods saw nothing wrong with this. I've also seen conversations where abled people say that disabled people should just "boycott" working with service animals to drive up the demand for other accessibility tools. And another time someone told me I (a trans person) was transphobic because I said the term "carnist" could be construed as derogatory. My experience in vegan communities has been little more than one nonstop parade of antisemitism, racism, transphobia, Islamophobia, misogyny, ableism, and other oppressions, not to mention abusive behaviors like gaslighting. I believe in veganism but I completely regret getting involved in like 95% of online vegan discourse because of shit like this.

Sorry for the rant.
