Reddit would have hundreds of resposes, true or not.
Honestly, it’s the same with Lemmy. Lemmy has no shortage of overly confident people who have everything figured out, despite having little to no data or first hand experience with the topic at hand.
That’s everywhere on the internet.
Give everyone a platform to be heard and anonymity to hide who they are and you will suddenly have a bunch of experts.
I'm sorry but my dad works for the internet and he told me that wasn't true
Damn, you sound like an expert.
Much, possibly most, of the lemmy userbase is just people that used to use reddit until recently or still do, so this is unsurprising
I'm sure. I don't think I should trust any other platform any more (people being partially informed, delusional, idiots, or just trying to paint reality in their preferred colour are everywhere, from town hall meetings to 4chan), but I was just genuinely curious. The question arose in me today when I looked at the egg carton that said it was from free range hens and made me think of all the petty lies and misguiding info that companies have been pulling to greenwash their product. I just wonder if veganism managed to make a dent, at least. I'm hoping so.
Its a nice question I wish there were more replies to read is all
"my unspecifed buddy is an expert on the matter. He once told me that vegans are causing all kinds of problems with farmers, due the the decreased meat consumption the anamials aren't getting kill as much, causing over population and increased methane emissions. This is bad for the environment, vegans are dooming us all."
Is that enough bull for the day?
The insightful one that has a graph and links to primary sources is up higher. That's most of what we need.
Although a few funny ones would be nice too.
Not true because mods would remove it because of some rule or delete it because they were paid off by the meat industry
