Online vegans are something else. As a former vegan, I replied to a thread asking “why people don’t just go vegan” with my personal experience: being vegan makes people more likely to disregard your advocacy for other causes, widespread meat reduction does more good than fringe meat elimination, wasting meat that’s going to go into the trash anyway feels ethically worse, etc.
Yeah and honestly my comment with the recipe had a really great response from another user who retorted that producing eggs at large enough scale has so far required chick culling, a sort of unavoidable issue preventing eggs from being “slaughter free” until more of the industry is forced to adopt laser egg-sexing technology.
So it was leading to proper discussion that the Vegan moderators chose to shut down.

The comment was quickly deleted and I was banned.
