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.

hexbear.net doesn't allow downvotes. i'm not suggesting you would get downvotes, necessarily, but there are none to be had here.

I guess it's because Lemmy users mostly come from Reddit, and Reddit is well known for their atheism.

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

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.
