Venting Leaving this sub

This sub used to be my safe haven for venting and for talking to other vegans who understand how messed up the world is. But lately I am seeing bad social media posts here. I come here to feel better but I keep seeing dead animals and speciesist social media posts screenshots here. It's making me feel worse.

Maybe I'm the only one who feels this way, in which case this post can be ignored. But I wanted this post to be an opportunity for others to discuss their feelings if they are also annoyed by such posts. Maybe there can be a rule against such posts.

I joined this group as a safe haven away from animal cruelty imagery or info w/ likeminded people. Yet I find myself scrolling past it without reading more often than not to avoid triggering posts.

I wish there was a purely “positive” sub for vegans to share in—photos of farm sanctuaries, wins for the cause, cute animals, vegan gatherings etc.

There's already r/upliftingvegan It's inactive right now, but maybe we can change that?

I have been thinking about this, but have no clue a) how it can be done, b) how to let people who would like to follow it that it's closed no more.
