I’m glad this is getting some positive interaction. I’ve tried posting Bible memes before. idk I thought this was pretty damn funny, and I’ve posted some stuff about gnosticism since learning more about it has become a my wiki rabbithole special interest. Like that one in particular isn’t even one of those tired het “marriage bad” jokes he literally starts by complimenting his own wife. Like a lot of Bible stories are just genuinely funny as fuck like the thing where it just goes on for a good couple of verses about dudes jizzing bucketfuls of cum. When you grew up with that shit sometimes it’s fun to just look back like wait …wut?
but literally any bible / Christianity comm gets downvoted to hell on lemmy and I’m just like. Y’all know the block function is a thing right? You can just let people have their community and have their own discussions. I just block all the AI porn comms because I don’t really wanna see it but I’m not gonna mess with the posts because idc what other people are into. Like seriously just look up “Bible” and “Christianity” and just go block all those comms. If it’s that upsetting for you to see them then block them. Live your best life as far from it as possible, especially if you’ve got religious trauma.
Especially those of us that grew up fundie and regardless of what we believe now it was a huge part of our childhood and we can’t even make memes about it with each other that will show up in our own feeds normally weighted with the stuff from the other comms we follow?
Content that’s only relatable to people familiar with specific religious subcultures already starts off on the back foot traction-wise. Christian stuff, in particular, is so heavily encumbered by the past and present crimes of Christians that you really can’t refer to it neutrally and expect a positive response.
You posted a youtube short link on lemmy? Yeah, that’s not going to go over well.
There’s a lot of tech literate people here, and from my experience many of them dislike short-form video content with sound. Especially when its from Alphabet, Meta, etc.
I thought we agreed to use alt frontend redirects for backward compatibility with old stuff. YT links don’t bother me. I don’t even mind the tiktok style videos.
It’s the rich data harvesting apparatus surrounding the technology that I instinctively want to drown in a bathtub.
I hate short videos with sound. Sound is so demanding of attention so much so that it drags others into it. I don’t even want to focus on it that much.
Fair. Having the option of sound is nice but if you’re blocking cookies and other local storage the only way an app can save a default mute preference is URL parameter, so I use StopTheMadness for stuff like that.
That guy is kind of sexist plus its a video on a big tech platform. Between the two I see why it wasn’t liked.
This post is a bit better since it is simpler and relies on less obscure information. In general I’m not in favor of people going around promoting their religion but in this case it is actually reasonable. If you want to have Christian community that’s fine but in my experience online Christian communities tend to harbor extreme views while being hostile to any real discussion. I do like that this post isn’t just another screenshot of a 10 year old comment.
Bible memes
Nice

You might want to try a sub like !dankchristianmemes@lemmy.blahaj.zone for those.

It’s Prince of Egypt. That movie will always get upvotes.
It is peak abrahamic religion
I think it also has to do with Louis Armstrong singing this song
