People started arguing about whether cats can eat vegan, mods on c!vegan got involved, then an admin got involved. People's personal feelings about veganism overtook any actual discussion about when it is or isn't inappropriate for Admins/mods to step in, hence the pinned post on the front page.

Wow. I didn’t miss much... Is this the first drama of this kind?

I think so but only because I think most people didnt think discussing possible healthy vegan diets for pets was a taboo subject.

To be fair though lemmy.world wasnt ever supposed to be some respected scientific resource, its a discussion board.

Ultimately its up to the admin to set their rules, but in my opinion they reacted immaturely, and I think it shows somewhat of an ego problem.
