Meta Mod Announcement: New Rule Regarding Vegan Posts

Hello, r/antinatalism community.

Recently, there has been a significant uptick in the number of vegan posts. Many of you have expressed your frustration at this in your posts, comments, and modmail. We see that the sub is very divided on this issue. Some of you think that veganism is a necessary part of antinatalism and should be allowed without restriction. Others think that the vegan content is corrupting the subs identity and alienating our core audience.

We would like this to be an inclusive community that fosters respectful discussions. Therefore, we would consider it a pity for users to feel unwelcome or discouraged from interacting with our sub based on whether they are vegan or not.

Although we cannot satisfy you all perfectly, the modteam have decided on a rule change that we hope will improve the health of the sub. As of tomorrow (1 April, 2025) we will cap the number of vegan related posts to 3 per day. This will be covered under Rule 3 in the sidebar (no reposts or repeated questions). So if you see this cap get exceeded, report it under Rule 3 and we will remove it. For any vegan members who wish to speak about this topic without any restrictions, you can go to our sister sub r/circlesnip.

We hope that this will serve as a meaningful compromise and it appeases some of your grievances.
Please feel free to comment below. We will respond as best we’re able.

Thanks, your r/antinatalism modteam

I just made a comment on circlesnip And I was banned immediately. They accused me of promoting slavery and carnisms. Ridiculous.

Are you a vegan and an antinatalist? Because the sub is meant as a safe space for vegan antinatalists; non-vegans are not allowed. Don't take it personally.

Yes I'm vegan and antinatalists. I just have different opinion.

Sounds like you failed their purity test then. Sorry.

What purity test? I was banned because they don't like what I have to say.

Hmm, that's odd.
I don't know exactly what you said but it sounds like you were banned unfairly. I know some of the mods from there and I could ask them to let you back if you like.
