I was happy to see that Veganism Social reached the 3000 member mark. This is a community I started in November 2022.
Both decentralization and animal rights are very close to my heart. I look forward to providing vegans free and stable services for decades to come.

I'm starting a #vegan #Lemmy server because:
1. There are none.
2. Vegan groups on existing servers suffer from carnist down-voting in the 'new' feed.
3. It's in my hands to migrate r/VeganCirclejerk from #Reddit to the Fediverse.
4. Reddit will IPO soon with unknown consequences.
I've cautiously wanted to do this for a while. Starting a fedi server is a huge commitment to the users who adopt it.
Once decent federation is established by a team of testers, I will announce the details here.

Hey!! Do you have a minute?
It's my job to integrate new members into our community.
I'm falling a bit behind on that front. 😟
Please follow these good vegans and boost any introductions they may have posted.

I just finished my hour-long interview with Oxford University concerning their study of Mastodon and decentralized social media.
They were especially interested in what we’ve done here at Veganism Social, as we have our own fork with custom features that address common complaints such as content discoverability.
Veganism Social’s use case was exemplary of the benefits of decentralizion. Our moderation is uniquely anti-speciesist, and the community has a clear purpose beyond ‘general’.
My analyses of the technological and sociological benefits of decentralization are extensive. I (currently) have a deep understanding of Mastodon’s code-base, and how to use it. I also worked as a software developer for centralized social media, and now moderate a subreddit with 100k members.
I could not possibly exhaust myself of exhilarating insights to share.
Surely, the Oxford study will broaden awareness of how decentralized social media will benefit society.
Next time my wife asks me to stop info-dumping, I’ll banter that Oxford might think it’s worth listening to. 🤭
They’re sending me an Amazon gift card as compensation, and of course I’m spending it all on candy.

There was 1 hour and 40 minutes of downtime on Veganism Social.
I pay $180 per month for a managed database from a reputable cloud hosting provider.
At 5:30pm EST, all of our servers, and my home network on a far away continent were unable to resolve the database's host name to an ip address.
When this happened, I immediately received a phone call from Better Stack notifying me of the downtime.
I tried to quickly diagnose the problem. When I realized it was not a quick fix, I redirected our members to our Better Stack downtime page. Then I submitted my terminal logs indicating a DNS problem to the cloud hosting provider.
While I haven't received a proper response to my ticket yet, it appears that whatever DNS problem they were having has been fixed.
I wish we could afford a fail-over or faster support, but it's just not in our server's budget (I receive $5 per month back from our Patreon).
On a good note, we use an outstanding backup service. I was in the process of forking our database before the DNS came back up.

I'm proud that our server took part in leading the fedipact campaign against meta's threads.
Engadget linked to our server in an article because of our exemplary fighting stance.
Many other servers were unwilling to shut out a genocidal company that purposely raised the teen suicide rate in the name of profits.
None of our members complained, and many were vocally supportive. Vegans know what's up.
I love you all 💌 :vegan:

@npub1wje…kd27 Diversity in organizations is important.

Fabric softener usually contains animal fat.
Don't soften your undies with dead horses!

I refuse to eat at a table where animal flesh or secretions are being consumed.
Yes, it creates awkwardness among friends, but I will not blind myself of their violence to have the privilege of their presence.
Many of you will be invited to the American turkey dinner table next month.
If you feel conflicted to participate in a holiday centered around animal slaughter, VALIDATE YOUR EMOTIONS and boycott it.
Animals, self respect, conviction, and a peaceful evening are priceless.

Hey, vegan admins! :vegan:
We started a relay a few months ago for fedi servers with at least one admin that is vegan.
This relay exists to boost servers with a vegan influence in administrative decisions.
Your server does not need to be vegan-focused or vegan-only to join.
So far, nine servers have joined!
Message me before registering your server, as our relay requires pre-approval.

Individual action is a big part of the 'solution' to climate change.
It's easy to point fingers, but it takes guts to accept blame. 😩
1. Stop making new people, we suck. 👶 ❌
2. You're not a hero because you drive a Tesla, take the bus. 🚌 ✅
3. Cows' milk / cheese is an environmental disaster. 🐄 💨
4. Don't process your food through other animals. Go vegan. 🌱
5. Limit your demand for new things. Thrift if possible. 👚 ♻️
6. Hold yourself to a higher standard. We're failing. 🧑‍🏫📉

I have a hunch that if we stopped drinking coffee, we’d see a big drop in our carbon emissions. Increased ‘productivity' is not good for our #climate.

I made an emotional connection this morning of how I'd feel if my buddy Oliver was in line at a slaughterhouse.
Violence. Violence. Violence.
I won't do it, but violence is how I feel.
Please don't do it to any animal. They're much much much much more than a sandwich.

Today, 211,350 active Fediverse users across 386 counted servers have or plan to block #Threads.
My generation (Z) has already been experimented on for profit by #Meta through Instagram and Facebook without care for the mental damage it would cause us. We famously struggle with short attention spans, depression, and anxiety.
Their business is to capture our attention then expose it to whichever advertiser/propagandist bids the most.
I urge all other server admins to sign the #FediPact and #Fediblock Meta. There's VALUE in maintaining the Fediverse's reputation as a volunteer network free of corporate manipulative influence. We must grow without their toxicity.
If you want to see if your server's admin will block Threads, you can check this (somewhat accurate) page I made for you:

Veganism Social is experimenting with replacing our "Local" timeline with a "Vegan Timeline".
Originally, the "Vegan Timeline" was just people on our server, but now it also includes people who have #vegan in their bio.
I'll be monitoring this feature and make adjustments as needed.

He's:
- #GenZ
- super chill
- loves #tea
- a great partner to my wife's best friend
- somehow reads more wikipedia than I do
- unusually eccentric about #rust
- likely to invent an interesting but very niche #programming language
Considering most of my followers are vegan, WARNING: He's not but said that we're right; he'll be a soy boy within 10 years tops 😉.
