I don't want to be the judge here or anything. Just wondering if a religious sub belongs in an instance with nothing anti-science as a rule. If its fine by everyone and the admin, its fine by me. I'd just block the community. Just felt wrong to see a Catholicism community in local.

I won't go down voting the community or anything, we've got enough of those people here

Wow, I was literally thinking of deleting the community yesterday, and now I see this post! I'm the creator of that community. The posts do get immediately downvoted, so I assume that people feel uncomfortable with a religious community here on dbzer0. I will definitely remove it once I get to my computer. Just wanted to say. I am definitely not anti-science and I am a normal person who got converted a few months ago (used to be an agnostic). I am still a diehard leftie and I love astronomy, cosmology, I read science fiction and pirate!!! Catholics come in all shapes and sizes. However, I do agree that this instance might not be the place for a Cath community and therefore I will remove it.

The downvotes are probably irrespective of the instance, but indeed, I don't think this particular instance is the most fertile ground for theism, even though technically religion is not incompatible with anarchism.

It'll probably be more useful to try and revitalise some of the other christian lemmy communities. Thank you for being understanding, though.

No thats perfectly fine. I didn't mean to make you feel unwelcome. Keep going, early downvotes has always been an issue on dbzer0.
