1 year agoYeah if anything they have proven to be incredibly adaptable . Absorbing local pagan rituals to stay popular/relevant: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christianity_and_paganism#Pagan_influences_on_Christianity. I’m sure they would find a mental-gymnastics way to rationalise intelligent life on another planet and how it’s all part of God’s plan.
I was thinking this also when I saw some thai football (or something) related posts in /m/cats. The sole moderator is @Jay, who has never posted anything. At all. And they are also the sole moderator of /m/iphone and /m/chicagobears.
I know there was talk of reclaiming a magazine abandoned by the mod like this but I think it really needs to be addressed soon, as currently you can spam anywhere quite successfully (like the drug post in /m/fediverse) and even with downvotes the post will be on the front page for quite some time.
