Hexbear is far more likely to have users entering and using our comms, being another large socialist instance, albeit dedicated to left unity rather than Marxism like ourselves. I think there is enough of a culture change that we need to have a pinned post for hexbear users coming here explaining what kind of content/attitudes they might see here/what different rules to follow

There should also be a section dedicated to explaining to lemmygrad users to respect hexbear comm rules and what to expect from their users etc.

I think this would help ease any potential cross site struggle sessions

    I’m hopeful that in a future socialist society, there would be enough financing and technological development to have made farming animals seem barbaric and cruel by comparison

    Well, we’re already there but the majority of people still don’t see it as barbaric. Some people have been vegan their whole lives, in perfect health, and reached peak athletic condition.

    I believe it’s more of a cultural problem, and a practice that’s kept alive by our current superstructure. In France for example, eating cheese, saucisson, and foie gras is seen as an essential part of being French. Because of that, many people see “being vegan” as an attack on their identity, they don’t think/care about the harm they are causing.

    We have all the information available about animal suffering, environmental damage, livestock-related zoonoses, slaughter house workers PTSD incidence… but it’s pretty complicated for people to change habits when they already made them a part of who they are, and have an emotional attachement to them.
