it’s assata. it’s an homage.

you don’t need to read every line if you trust your package maintainers

I use Debian btw

this doesn’t answer the question.

if you don’t think fascists should be shot, what do you think should be done with them? or cops?

there is definitely a civility problem. the solution is temporary bans that get longer if the incivility is refrequented.

I don’t believe in permabans for anything except stuff that would get the admins arrested, and even some of that maybe not.

this isn’t evidence of astroTurfing, nor is it evidence of misrepresenting vegan philosophy.

instead of showing public record, why don’t you show the posts you purged for no reason and are now lying about

those comments were not in a vegan community

I’m pretty salty about being forcibly removed, and having the posts removed, especially for this particular user to be granted mod powers and being the one to remove my posts. adding to that, they are lying now.

that comment doesn’t spread any misinformation about vegan philosophy or reflect any kind of astroturfing. I may be speciesist, but that doesn’t mean that I can’t moderate a vegan community, nor that my posts were somehow inappropriate for such a community.

it never was being steered by an astroturfer or someone pushing false narratives about vegan philosophy. it was me.

edit: i don’t know why they removed my posts. there were all about people liberating animals.

eating meat doesn’t cause people in the meat industry to do anything. they get to choose what they do.

if I died today there is no reason for me to believe any industry would get smaller as a result, and I would of course stop purchasing everything.

there are more vegans now more than ever, and more meat produced. being vegan doesn’t decrease the size of the industry.

whether I do or not, the industry continues to grow.

obviously we disagree. i hold them accountable for their actions regardless.

this is storytelling, not evidence. if we can’t agree that meat producers have free will, and i am only responsible for my own actions, we have a fundamental disagreement that won’t be resolved on lemmy. but ask yourself: at what point do meat producers become responsible for tehir own actions?

meat producers are responsible for their own actions. no one else causes them.

i have considered it, and its epistemic issues make it impractical as a basis of deciding correct actions.

I’m not a utilitarian. most people aren’t
