I think most online atheist communities would upvote that sort of thing. In my experience, it’s all just circle-jerking about how evil religion is, and how stupid people must be to subscribe to it. Which is understandable; most atheists are constantly inundated with religious claptrap from all kinds of sources, and need a place to vent about it. They don’t tend to be very positive places, though.
Bonus: Me wondering how the fuck I got community banned by the Atheism community as a card carrying atheist:
How can you be an atheist when you have g*d in your username. Checkmate theist/s
The atheism community is such a circlejerk that I decided to block it. So, congratulations I guess.
“Next on the agenda: still no gods”
Good to see lemmy has already inherited the worst of reddit’s issues: Shitty powertripping moderators.
I don’t see an easy way to fix it
Make the community be able to vote kick or vote for new Moderators although that would maybe just make the circlejerking even worse
You’d get brigading and bot led hostile takeovers
Yes, that’s very hard to implement. How do you prevent bots from voting? Thinking about it gives me headache
Modlog for all actions including every single ban and the conversation about it and a way for a user to report mod abuse to admins.
Great unless mods are the actual admins
Even worse are power tripping instance admins.
Atleast you can register to another instance and still interact as usual. Or if the admin is being obnoxious, defederate.
Mods escape all accountability.
Turns out there are no cards in atheism.
You’d think I’d be the one banned for saying that the water pistol was full of the priest’s semen.
