For me, the purpose of the post is exactly what it asks for. I don't think I've ever posted to !vegan except for today, to cross-post the OP, but my own fate as an active lemmy.world user likely rests on the outcome of this request. I run a tiny community that has no relation to animal rights or ethics but I feel it is absolutely threatened when there are moderators like Rooki that act based on their views rather than the rules.

For one, I don't see the moderators "denying any risks". The very first one seen at the archived link and in the mod log says "There are some scammy and not nutritionally complete vegan cat foods or there, so it’s important to do a bit of extra research".

Regardless of any of that, the job of an instance moderator isn't to fight what they believe is misinformation, as that view leads to total censorship, as I already explained. What if you believe that abortion kills? Would you then go and remove moderators that say otherwise? The same question stands for the other examples provided in my OP.

When it comes to disagreements of that nature (and again, even if we assume that the science were on Rooki's side), the right course of action in my view is to make an opposing comment and make your case, then if that's unfairly removed by the community mods, create your own community (it could be another version of vegan or "anti-vegan" depending on where you stand) and use that to express the opposing views. Resorting to your admin power is completely unacceptable for a case of disagreement that is not related to a rules violation.

Why would a Nazi need a proxy for X?

Like the Hungarian.

They previously had a public exchange in the vein of Musk and Zuckerberg challenging each other to a fight, so it could be either.

Its main strength is that Ukraine would probably want to have Kadyrov's personal Cybertruck as a trophy, so they'd be careful not to destroy it.

Remember your "to Berlin" car stickers, Russia?

One was a jury trial and the other wasn't. Google had plenty of records of their internal communications but Apple had a different practice. This article by The Verge does a decent job at highlighting the differences.

In fairness, most of the gamers I see don't play most of the games they buy either.

He should have said "the special military operation". A missed opportunity.
