My guess is that the people reading the EA Forum are much less judgmental than the average vegan and generally, there will be a selection effect such that people who are actually willing to think reasonably and be 90% vegan won’t be the judgmental ones anyway. So, probably for people here, it’s not harmful to recommend people be non-judgmental strict vegans for signalling reasons.
They’re probably less judgmental than average. Also perhaps poorer social skills on average. Do I back us to have the required tact? :P
But in all seriousness, the answer to “is it positive for social signalling to have an extra vegan EA forum reader” could defs be different to “is it positive for social signalling to have an extra vegan”. I had the latter in mind when I questioned the signalling value
