It is so difficult for people to grasp just how deeply entrenched carnism is as an ideology, to the point that “orphan crushing machine” stories such as this are seen as somehow positive by most.
To clarify, I am not referring to the OP or comments on this post, rather the reception of these types of stories in general, whereas in the case of humans it’s very easy to spot the contradictions.
I was never really a fan of the way Pixelfed and Loops developed, but could you elaborate on what you mean by “comparing notes on their interactions”?
