I think they’re disgusting. Since they’re disgusting I don’t want their flesh in me.
Isn’t this the basis behind some religions’ prohibition against eating pigs? Basically that they are disgusting and disease-ridden.

This is a very sobering read: https://www.vox.com/future-perfect/2023/9/27/23893028/farmed-animals-animal-welfare-human-progress-poverty-climate-change-environment
Endless nightmare indeed
I think “plant forward” is actually a reasonable term.
I think it’s important to make an honest assessment of what is, and what isn’t, under control of consumers. Reducing meat consumption is something that consumers actually can control, unlike say the massive environmental destruction caused by military.
Corporations and other entities doing bad stuff does not absolve us of our own responsibility.
I’d wager more than 25%
Hopefully employers will allow WFH for jobs that can be feasibly done remotely. This will also help reduce traffic for those who cannot WFH.
I feel like I’m back on Reddit
I’d guess at least a week but most likely more.
and usually you can find the same community topic on another instance and not miss out on much
One of the worst things about Reddit is that you have some subs that are basically “too big to fail.” You have THE sub for a specific topic. Unless it’s really a niche topic with a small community to begin with, this is not a good thing.
If the sub has bad mods, you’re out of luck. Or you have a bad knock-off sub that gets like 1% of the traffic.
I’m fairly cynical and think that many (perhaps even most) do it for that little shred of power. But some do it out of genuine passion for a project. I’d be more inclined to suspect the former for controversial topics and anything political, and the latter for subs that are related to fun topics and hobbies.
Full disclosure: I do still use Reddit, simply because of how much content there is on that site. But I’m tapering off to spend more time on Lemmy. I hope to see this platform grow.
If I had to boil down my description of Reddit into one thing, it would be “passive aggressive.”
I’ve been banned from subs I’ve never even previously commented/posted to. But then I’ll make a comment and it’s been shadowbanned. It’s so prevalent that I got in the habit of logging out to check that it actually appeared. I mostly stuck to commenting and made new posts rather infrequently, but it seems like some subs no matter what I posted it would get removed for very dubious reasons. One of the worst offenders was the sub for unpopular opinions, where they would just remove anything and say “must be an unpopular opinion.”
I went with a media center PC and haven’t looked back.
