If you look at the commits, it’s actively being worked on, but hasn’t had a full release in a while. I still find that too slow personally due to my issues with it, so I’ve been using SuperSonic.

These sensibilities?

It doesn’t matter if they’re true. I also never said I was angry. I just find it disingenuous.

This specific post is obviously about plants, which is neat, but your reply was in response to the very thing I was talking about, an unfunny and reddit-tier joke about vegans that misunderstands their position.

I’m explaining why I would downvote a comment like yours in that specific context. Why would you bring up the complex lives of plants in response to a vegan poster (who then presumably downvotes you)? Are you trying to genuinely and compassionately suggest that vegans should consider the morals of their diet in the context of plant feelings? Just sharing cool facts? If so, you’re atypical.

You think its uncharitable, but if you spend enough time on the internet, you’d see that most people are not doing this. They’re suggesting that vegans are no better then carnists. That plants feel pain the same way animals do, therefore its fine to slaughter animals, and people don’t have to think about the harm they’re causing because they’ve now established that everyone is doing just as much harm as they are. Its a cope to absolve people of any responsibility and allow them to strengthen their position against a group they already dislike.

The takeaway should be ‘then we should find out how to minimize plant suffering too’.

Given that, out of the blue comments about how ‘plants have feeling’ in a discussion about eating animals serves as a distraction and can be interpreted like this even if you mean it genuinely.

I downvote people who describe these things because the only time 99% of people mention plant communication, they’re doing it as some sort of ‘gotcha’ against vegans to justify their own lack of morals, not because they actually care about plants (or animals).
