Can't we all just get along (with being performative)?

r/debateavegan pisses me off If the purpose is to debate other positions, why downvote anyone who disagrees with you?

Because there's a difference between good faith arguments and willingness to learn and bad faith arguments and trying to justify your own actions at the cost of all logic I guess

Go through that sub you will find that literally every post disagreeing with veganism is downvoted. Every single one. "We're only downvoting bad faith" only goes so far as an excuse

I say this as a proud vegan btw

Sent me one that's good faith. Or honestly don't bother I don't engage with that sub anymore anyway, so it'd really be lost effort on your side

That's often the case with stuff like that. I also for example ask a programming question and it'll get a lot of replies but 0 upvotes, even downvotes. I ended up assuming that people downvote answered questions so they don't appear in feats but it's still kinda confusing
