Welcome to c/Christianity

"Let it be very clear, then, that when the church preaches social justice, equality, and human dignity; when the church defends those who suffer poverty or violence, this is not subversive nor is it Marxism. This is the authentic magisterium of the church.
-Óscar Romero

MODERATORS
 

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.
