      If they choose to migrate to another instance, it will likely be a more extremist instance with poor moderation that has been significantly defederated.

      In theory this is how it should work, but in practice the toxic people tend to move to general purpose more laissez-faire places like .world or .ml, which makes de-federating and cutting off 30% of all users a difficult decision for anyone trying to have a community.

      The answer is less centralization, but that can’t be forced. beehaw.org (for example) made the decision to cut off .world and they are better for it. But they are a large-ish instance in their own right.

        So if you dont agree with someone they are an extremist, got it.

        You are aware vegan cats exist right? Like its already a thing, and its being studied.

        https://news.uoguelph.ca/2021/03/u-of-g-researchers-first-to-study-health-effects-of-vegan-diets-on-cats/

        Y’all are so confidently wrong about stuff its crazy, and then y’all pat yourselves in the back for all grouping up and agreeing together.

        Just because a lot of people are on one side of a position does not make it the right position, you must be aware there is more to think about right?

          I didn’t say extremist I said toxic but really anyone who’s poorly socialized will go where they’re allowed, which in Lemmy terms means general catch-all instances with loose moderation like .world and .ml.

      One study estimated 1% of cat owners feed their cat a vegan diet. Why do you think that might be? Are they all extremist animal abusers? Or is it possible you had an assumption that turned out to be wrong and now don’t know how to reconcile?

        Yes, if you are not feeding your pet a proper diet and are allowing it to suffer, you are an animal abuser.
