TLDR - I made this community because I’m following the eating pattern, and I wanted a place to talk about it.

There are at least 75 Plant Based communities on Lemmy - There is 1 Animal Based community (this is it)

There are probably 10 people who participate in the previous Carnivore community. We are a tiny group. But even tiny groups need a place to talk amongst themselves.

In my life I did SAD, Vegan, totally given up, Keto, and finally Carnivore.

Carnivore has been the single best thing I’ve ever done in my life, it has had the greatest impact on my health of anything I’ve ever done. I WANT to talk about it. I WANT to find it’s limits. I’m excited that I’ve discovered this “secret” to modern life that eluded me for so long. I feel like I’ve been robbed of my youth by poor nutritional information.

This community is a place to experience Carnivore - The good and the bad. I’m not perfect, at all, I have problems, I cheat, I fall out sometimes… That struggle is real life. Having a real space to speak of struggle is important, even if no one is listening - screaming into the void.

Has Carnivore solved nutrition? No, probably not. At least 50% of what I know is probably wrong, or incomplete enough to be wrong… I just don’t know which 50%. I only care about outcomes, results. I don’t have a philosophy or identity tied to my food. I’m lazy, if i could skip eating all together I would.

All of the above is why I created this community. This is also why I defend this community, so others can feel encouraged and safe expressing themselves. I know most people don’t agree with Carnivore, hell I KNOW its crazy - I thought it was crazy too, before I tried it. I don’t expect anyone to like Carnivore at all, I don’t care what other people eat. Nobody is “Wrong” for eating what they like. I’m all about informed decisions, I’m going to present the best data I have, engage in the earnest exchange of ideas here in this community, and I respect people’s choices - even if I dont agree with them.

    This is also why I’m not too bothered by the people who hate this community. It’s not for them.

    If the votes on the internet don’t matter - then the downvote brigade shouldn’t care they are excluded

    If the votes on the internet do matter - then the downvote brigade is being acknowledged that they don’t like this, and are being given their free time back when they are uninvited from the community.

      Hi, I needed another login as aussie.zone doesn’t see dubvee.org well. I’ll mostly be here on this account (I need an alt anyway as aussie.zone is unreliable and my previous alt was on lemm.ee)

        ok, added you.

        Aussie Zone doesn’t federate with dubvee?

        oh - wow, you were not joking https://aussie.zone/c/carnivore@dubvee.org

        I think I know the problem. Aussie.zone doesn’t appear to be on lemmy-federate so it didn’t pick up the community two days ago when I created it.

          It’s federated, but I only see posts and comments after I joined

          I may have double voted the most recent post as I can see that one on aussie.zone

          I think it only synchronised with instances that have a Aussie member in a community. Maybe a data saving effort, data can be expensive in Australia

            Right I mean the lemmy-federate.com bot isn’t on aussie zone. But now that you are subscribed locally it should be ok.

              It looks mostly synchronised now, some comments are missing but I think all the posts are present, well 49 of the ~55 are visible
