Every time I post something in any Christian/Catholic community on any other community (specifically lemmy.world), my posts get downvoted beyond reason. Does anyone know anything about this. Is Lemmy usually anti-Christian? Or rather, anti-religion?

    lemmy.world got most of its users from the summer Reddit exodus. They are mostly people who care more about whether they can use their favorite Reddit app than other humans. And their admins/mods just want to be another Reddit, which is to say they socially and administratively enforce a political boundary that includes polite or socially acceptable fascism (e.g. Azov Batallion) but discludes sassy (or not) socialists. Being cringe edgelord atheists is perfectly on brand.

        we can test that. lemmygrad allows downvotes, so i’ve downvoted it with this account. it shouldn’t change the tally on hexbear but it might show up elsewhere. but for what it’s worth, it said there were 0 downvotes here until i did.

    i think its because the reddits atheist mostly went to world over other intances during the migration so you get them downvoting anything christian and since we are one of the few instances that arent federated with world we dont have those problems

      I kinda wish the would not have blocked us preemptively because of how funny it would be with so many libs trying to shit up the place only to get bodied by two page long effort posts.

    perhaps people are downvoting rather than clicking through to block a com they don’t see very often.

    or your posts could actually be disagreeable to competing adherents and never make it to active or hot. you didn’t give any examples.
