Post your stories about being banned from Echo Bunker communities here.

NOTE: Not everyone has the same sense of humor. In fact, it is quite apparent that some people have no sense of humor at all and that some toxic communities and echo bunkers REALLY hate it when their attempts to silence those who don't agree with them fail because they forgot that those people can just make fun of them outside of their echo bunkers. Those toxic communities will come here and continue to argue but will become more and more frustrated because they can't silence us here.

So...for those of you to whom it isn't ABUNDANTLY clear (please look up Dunning Kruger) this sub is for making fun of those toxic echo bunker communities and subreddits. If you can't take a joke then this might not be the sub for you.

AND...if you're a member of one of those toxic echo bunker communities and come here to try to defend those toxic echo bunker communities please do expect to me made fun of. We're here for you.

ALSO...really lean into those completely meaningless downvotes. It's fucking hysterical that you think that they make any difference at all here.

RULES

This sub only has three rules.

Someone asked about feeding their dog, a feculative carnivore, a vegan diet. The response was overwhelmingly, "Don't, it's animal abuse". In fact, that was my exact response. I posted links to several articles explaining that it's very difficult to feed a feculative carnivore, like a dog, a balanced diet feeding them only vegan.

They didn't like the word, "force" as in, "forcing a dog to eat vegan." When I asked how not giving the dog a choice was not forcing their false moreal supperiority on an animal without other options I didn't get an answer. I also suggested giving the dog a choice between meat and kibble or even a feculative carnivore kibble versus a vegan kibble so they weren't forcing the dog to eat vegan. That wasn't popular either.

So...I'm banned from c/vegan. My life will be richer for it.

EDIT: Some of this conversation happened with individuals after the mods hermetically sealed the echo bunker by removing all non-fawningly supportive replies and banning everyone who didn't fawn positively.

I tried posting there in some of their threads yesterday and holy shit, worst echo chamber I've seen since r/conservative

These people drive away their potential allies more fiercely than their enemies, and then wonder why so few people are interested in being vegan.

They're not trying to make allies and they aren't trying to convince anyone. They're stoking their own misguided sense of absolute moral superiority.

I think you're right. I have a friend who is vegan and you would never know because he doesn't talk about it, or judge what other people do. It's just his personal choice. I'm all about reducing environmental impact so I consider vegans and vegetarians as allies in that regard. But these militants are something else.

Yup. I once spent an hour dragging a large group of people around Las Vegas looking for a place that could accommodate the one vegan in the group. I have zero hate for vegans. I hate extremists of all stripes.
