There should be separate groups for vegans and all other variations. Vegans and vegetarians are not the same and don’t belong in the same group. Also, plant-based does not cover vegetarians.

I know lemmy communities are still small but it’s important to have groups which are specific to people’s interests, otherwise you’re going to wind up with a lot of fighting. It’s simple enough… at a minimum have plant-based, vegan, and vegetarian as separate groups.

I’m against calling the group plant-based. Veganism is concerned with animal welfare and the well-being of the planet, while plant-based ignores all that and only focuses on diet. You say you hate vegans? That’s fine, start another group but leave our group alone.
