I was colonised by an alien, once. It’s never been the same since.

No. Because any advanced civilisation capable of sending a colony ship across light-years to another planet is already so far outside of our current technological ability that it matters precious little.
We would be easy to colonise either way. Doubly so if they have some form of FTL technology to make that trip in reasonable time.
But there’s also an argument that anyone who can do so would have a much easier time not dealing with all of that and just colonising an uninhabited planet, or outright using materials for the task.

I’ve thought about the way an excavator moves huge rocks and ant hills like they’re nothing. The driver doesn’t care about the ants, because he is focused on the construction site and staying on schedule. Maybe humans on Earth will one day be nothing more than an ant hill in the bucket of an excavator.
If super advanced aliens can carry out galaxy wide construction projects, one planet won’t matter at all.
