Climate Change community where mods do not control the narrative (slrpnk.net)

In addressing the current climate crisis, it's important to understand and share the latest science on the issue and its causes, or at least what action steps are needed. The official narrative from respected organisations like the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is influenced by political interests and vastly understates the contribution of the animal exploitation industry. The "father of global warming" points out that people are not well-informed.

The mod of the most popular climate community seems to enforce the official narrative, posting mostly about fossil fuels and renewable energy technologies while removing comments and banning people for pointing out the cow in the room.

For this reason, I recommend that people post/comment in the other climate change community, where such crucial information is not suppressed. Obvious spam, uncivil posts, and misinformation are not immune to intervention, but on-topic civil posts are certain to not be subject to censorship.

I love the phrasing!

So the popular climate community is prejudiced against vegan type takes and people focusing on the animal agriculture side of things. Interesting, thank you for sharing.

Thanks for disclosing, usually it is a community's creator posting it here although there are exceptions, so I assumed you made the community.

This is very much not my lane, but props to you for trying to single-handedly keep what seems to be a non-harmful community going, and good luck with attracting new contributors.
