    The user refusing to engage is the same as a slaveowner refusing to talk about the harms slavery causes.

    I agree with last point at least.

      “My soapboxing is justified!”

      If you see moral issues on what users post, report to the mods. And if the mods don’t deal satisfactorily with your complain, drop the comm, block it etc. Stop trying to convert a fluff community into yet another debate community.

      That would apply even if we were talking about genuine slavery of human beings.

      The world does not revolve around your belly, nor around the causes that you defend, no matter how important you believe that those causes are.

      [EDIT, from your edit] I agree with last point at least.

      Of course you do, right? It’s the only part that I acknowledge that the mod might have done something wrong.

      They’re still 90% right. The ban itself was completely deserved.

        Besides the moral issues, due to the change of LW ToS with that section

        One of the core beliefs of modern medicine is the Hippocratic Oath, and is the logical basis of this section. All users should strive to “do no harm” concerning advice given to other users.

        Any studies posted to this site regarding the health or wellbeing should IDEALLY be at minimum peer reviewed, reproducible scientific studies.

        https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

        Had OP backed up their claim with a peer review study on how horse captivity is harmfulness to them, then LW admins would have had to remove this post to comply with their ToS.

      Yet you remain silent on the enslavement of plants? Lemons aren’t even natural. They’re an unholy crossbreed created by humans. We’ve been enslaving and bending nature to our will for generations to suit us. We artificially cultivate them in cramped farm rows. We even modify the very genetics of plants! How is that not slavery as well?

        That is morally equivalent to whatabouting the “enslavement of chairs” or “enslavement of cars”. Only a sentient creature can be enslaved. But thanks for helping us fill in our carnism bingo cards. “Plants feel pain, tho!”

          Plants feel pain and communicate with each other, yet you see them as the equivalent to inanimate objects? And you try to take the moral high ground here?

          I’m obviously shitposting but c’mon. You don’t see the ridiculousness of calling someone equal to a slave owner for simply refusing to engage?
