    You really, really need to go out your way to find those loud moral superior vegans. Like, look for them, search their communities specifically.
    However, there is no shortage of comment from people who apparently just can’t stop seeing angry vegans everywhere and that’s why, those commenters conclude, it’s normal and good to continue with constant anti-veran rhetoric. Because those vegans, you see, are everywhere.

      I usually use the “all” feed of Lemmy and have blocked a few of the vegan communities just because of how toxic many of the posts were. This is all from stumbling across them and never seeking them out. It’s really sad because seeing things like vegan recipes and food substitute ideas is something I’d love in my feed.

        It was A LOT more common when I was in high school in the 1990s. I have only ever seen it online or in vegan punk circles (many of whom have other issues)

        If you have problem with this kind of response to an explicitly vegan bashing post, then you just have a problem with vegans, and not an aversion of their percieved vocal superiority.
        And that’s a you problem.

          you said I really had to go out of my way to find them, but they were in this thread.

            If you classify the mild response to a veganbashing comment as a preachy moral superiority one, your problem is actually with them existing, and you just trying to normalwash your problem

      Nah, they used to be more common a while back. I think the community chilled out a bit as too many saw that militant vegan and wanted to not be that vegan
