Vegans being banned and comments being deleted from !vegan@lemmy.world for being fake vegans.
From my perspective, the comments were in no way insulting and just part of completely normal interaction. If this decision reflects the general opinion of the mod team, then from my perspective, the biggest vegan community on Lemmy wants to be an elitist cycle of hardcore vegans only, not allowing any slightly different opinion. Which would be very unfortunate.
PS: In contrast to the name of this community, I don’t want to insult anyone here being a ‘bastard’. I just want to post this somewhere on neutral ground. I would really appreciate an open discussion without bashing anyone.

Isn’t Reddit the same? Looking at Reddit quickly, it seemed to be a sure Harris win
No, as it is not federated the underlying problems are different. There is less stress on moderators and dialogue is naturally constrained by the possibility of permanent banishment from the platform. I haven’t been there in months but in my decade of using it previously I was never banned presumably because moderators aren’t on a hair trigger or have oversight focused on the preservation of the platform above all else.
Is there stupidity and over-moderation on Reddit? Ofc. But, it is not the Wild West that Lemmy is.
Edit: FTR I’m not pro-Reddit either.
You can have a look at !reddit@lemmy.world, moderation there has changed quite a bit in the last months
