is there any information on the User-Base by nationality?
some of us were wondering on another thread since there are so many communities in different languages, but I can’t find any way to tell the ballpark nationality percentages of the users here.
I don’t think there is as these instances haven’t done surveys on nationality as of yet.
I have seen English, French, Swedish, Portuguese, German and Vietnamese vegan communities though.
We exist!
There are definitely more vegans on lemmy but given they are frequently targeted with harassment and trolling I doubt all of them are willing to expose themselves to such behavior.
I’m happy lemmy is flexible enough to offer spaces for all of us, assholes be damned. Thanks for offering places for people to feel comfortable!
Thanks for not fucking up the planet any faster than you have to, and for being a better person than I am.
I’ve almost given up meat. I don’t see myself ever giving up cheese. But I appreciate you guys and what you’re (not) doing.
You’re doing more than the vast majority of people, so this isn’t supposed to be an attack but isn’t it kinda selfish to still eat cheese when you, from what it seems like, understand why it’s wrong? Anyway, actual cheese can already be made vegan but, at least in the EU, the company just isn’t allowed to sell it because they’re still waiting for approval but other companies like Rewe are also starting to invest in it, so hopefully it won’t take long until it can be sold. I think they’re starting to sell it outside the EU tho.
The main reason for not eating cheese is that it’s gross! Just think for a second what it is. Think harder. Gross. Admittedly pizza is kind of tasty - IF you can stop yourself imagining what it’s made of.
Unlike meat, even the best fake cheese is not very realistic IME. But if someone else enjoys it, all the better.

Agree with this however I’m not vegan and don’t want to take underserved credit for the effort it takes to make it a permanent change.
I’m heading down the path but still have a ways to go to the destination.
If everyone made an effort we’d live in a completely different world almost over night. At least as someone who cares about sustainability side of it, that’s what matters. But I appreciate that veganism consists of a bunch of different forms of arguments and motivations.
My path to veganism has more to do with refusing to be poisoned by the corporate clowns that don’t care they’re killing us all with listeria and microplastics in EVERYTHING and a supply chain that I refuse to depend on.
It shouldn’t be unreasonable to buy and consume healthy vegetables from a normal store but it gets harder every day. My means of survival will not be affected by recalls and cross contamination, corporate greed, or animal slavery.
IMO- Our survival will depend on our ability to take back control from companies that would sell us our doom with a shiny ribbon wrapped around it. Self-sustainable veganism is my bet for our future and I’m doing everything I can to bring it to reality as quickly as I can.
cool. I guess I’m effectively vegan now so maybe I’ll find some good recipes on here
