Lemmy’s userbase is currently skewed very left wing, many people on the left are vegan or vegetarian or at least care about climate change enough to see reduction in meat consumption as a necessity to fixing it.
So it shouldn’t be too much of a surprise that you see more anti-meat discourse.
I’m confused by this and totally open for evidence that proves otherwise, but literally everyone I know who is vegetarian or vegan is a bit more or…insanely more on the conservative side.
That’s fascinating, here in Germany it’s the opposite, at least in my experience. Everyone I know who is vegetarian or vegan (including me) tends to lean more left than those who eat meat.
Depends on where you’re from. There are countries like India where being vegetarian is a conservative, religious policy, where as in the US, being vegetarian (mostly vegan) is a liberal choice.
There seems to be a wildly unusual anti-meat sentiment on Lemmy. It’s disproportionate from my experience in person.
I wonder if it means anything.

I don’t know any liberal vegetarian or vegans.

We’re all ticks here
Lemmy is a foss anti-coporate project, what kind of demographics do you expect to see here ?
