I just blended boxed mori-nu silken tofu with nooch, salt, white pepper, apple cider vinegar and poured it over. It doesn’t stretch but I think it tastes really good anyway. The carrot and flowers recipe is really good for stretchy if you want to spend the extra time carrotsandflowers.com/20-min-vegan-quesadillas-re…

Unfortunately my Hexbear comrades can’t see content from other federated instances so this is my reply to another user.

They took over the vegan circlejerk subreddit after I left reddit and don’t know them, they run a mastodon server that I don’t really understand and seem to be using bots to bridge reddit posts. My instance is bot free.

Yeah I don’t think it’s a good idea either. Can’t have a circlejerk without the original. Overall I don’t think Lemmy is a replacement for reddit, it’s something different and better so I’m not looking to rehash any reddit ideas or memes.

Bigger picture for me is I ran and grew that meme community since 2018 and am tired of it. I think it is effective at what it does which is targeting vegetarians and literally hundreds of people have thanked me at the time for helping them cross the bridge to veganism, but it was a different time and different place. I also don’t think the few thousand people on Lemmy are a big enough group for that. Without the comments, users and community it’s just spam.

Oh yeah; I see the benefits of meme communities, but it takes a lot of work running a vegan one. During that time, I was exposed to a lot of material that I don’t wish to be any more including some really insane things like people hurting small animals on video and sending it to me. Big picture for me and vegantheoryclub.org is that I’m in my 40s and I’m looking for similar people in a similar place to bullshit with and post cooking and mutual aid online. I’m not really trawling for vegan converts. While obviously conversion and convincing are important as vegans since we are a huge minority with a moral philosophy the biggest challenge as I see it is recidivism. People fail at veganism because once they make the jump, they have nowhere else to go or to talk to, so I hope this small lemmy server for the population it ends up attracting can help them with that. I don’t see it as a tool for drawing engagement or mass numbers like the lemmy.vg person wants to do, and I definitely am done dealing with these fucking assholes who troll vegan forums who after removing their posts taunt you for weeks because they are miserable losers with no one to talk to and no social skills. To be honest I hate them.

I don’t think using a bot to copy memes is a valuable service at all. It becomes completely divorced from its context.
