A couple, I think. WoTshow is one I really liked. And exatheist is a tiny sub where a bunch of people who were once atheists of all different religions talk religious philosophy.
It'd be great to have an actual place that isn't just Christians screaming that LGTBQ+ people are of the devil and need to burn, and at the same time not have edgelord atheists decrying that they have figured out everything and are smarter than everyone else
Bingo. That's what r/exatheist is for me. Both extremes usually get talked down by the mods who tend to be fairly even-keel. Slightly undermoderated (both sides get away with just enough to not feel like anyone is getting stifled... as long as they don't go full-insult)
The other sub I like (but only lurk) is radicalchristian. I'm not Christian, but I love the way they look at the world and their religion.
In that regard, /r/radicalchristianity would be a good one, as theyβre lefty Christians (you know, like Jesus himself!)
Yes! WotShow and LOTR_on_Prime. I feel like I'm the only one who liked both shows haha
And exatheist does sound interesting
I tried so hard with LOTR. Especially because I saw how much hate WoT got (despite WoT now being my favorite show, and 6 or 7 rewatches in) and I wanted to give it its fair shake. It didn't work for me, and I'll probably be late to the game for S2, but I don't think all the hate for either was justified.
Since nobody else had (in my network) I added !wotshow@lemmy.ml and !wheeloftime@lemmy.ml. If I don't see a community I want, I plan to try to add one. I'd like to drive enough activity in lemmy that I don't mind losing reddit.
Just joined :)
