I love the short story The Road Not Taken by Harry Turtledove. There’s of course the alien invasion trope, where aliens are space conquistadors pillaging the earth with their extra-terrestrial powers, and its complement, the Star Trek trope, where humans are culturally and technologically superior secular humanists descended to a backwards planet. And then there’s this story.

If anyone sympathetic to this thread is looking for a way to move the conversation forward, read @Lionir’s comment on BeeHaw where he enumerates areas of improvement for moderation tools. More discussions of that type will help developers prioritize new Lemmy features.
