Hey, so I have this project I've been working on for a while, I want to destroy reddit's r/Christianity sub (pic related). The old /Christian/ sub was into it for a while and we did a crusade but it wasn't really organized and things fell apart
It still grates me that one of the largest open Christian gathering spots on the web is so blatently heretical. They're going to mislead people
So why not hit 2 birds with one stone - let's grow this board and take down r/Christianity at the same time.
I think posting and talking to them is the wrong approach - we tried that the last time and the gay and transgendered mods (I'm not kidding they actually have a trans and a few gay mods) ended up banning everyone.
So how do we take down r/Christianity without posting anything there? Simple, we take away their Christians.
create reddit accounts and then send private messages to the Christians on r/Christianity asking them to come here instead. It's a mini recruitment drive that'll help grow our numbers while driving down their numbers. Yeah I know we don't want them here, but we're only going to invite people who go against the grail on r/Christianity who oppose homosexuality and abortion and the usual redditor nonsense.
It's simple to find Christians on r/Christianity, just go to the controversial section and look for posts about abortion or homosexuality. Or find a thread with many replies and scroll all the way to the bottom. You'll see Christians. We can invite those with the correct theology here so we can build a good foundation of people.
Along with inviting, we could discourage them from posting there with warnings like -, you're only helping them give a semblance of Christianity, the bigotry rule prevents you from pointing out simple things like bringing in scientific evidence showing homosexuality is harmful (https://www.reddit.com/r/Christianity/wiki/xp/meta#wiki_homophobia) , brucemo was a part of SRS (he was), heck there are tons of reasons no good Christian should be anywhere near that place
What does this do? It throws off the balance of r/Christianity. Without any real Christians r/Christianity won't be able to maintain the facade of a Christian board. They'll lean so far to the left and lean so far towards atheism that people will realize they just a board named r/Christianity and there is nothing actually Christian about them.
Also it'll shrink their numbers - r/Christianity may look overwhelmingly big but they only have about 350-500 people on at any given time. That's not much different from what /Christian/ used to have - so getting rid of even a few people will make a difference.
Some might ask, instead of taking them down, why not try and reform them - you can
