Unpopular Opinion
Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

Pssh, if you think that's bad, try tussling with the rape and pedo apologists inundating .world and the other popular instances. Which you can't escape, because the popular instances overshadow every other. That's a very quick way to lose your faith in humanity.
I must be doing something right, because I'm not seeing any of this shit.
You're likely avoiding the news subs, and in that case, good on you, keep doing it. They're horrible. I am legit trying to figure out why the apologists aren't getting banned. There was one I saw last night arguing that it was unfair that Danny Masterson got 30 years for raping two women while some football star only got like 5 years for killing someone in a DUI, that Masterson should've got off easy too. It's the dumbest, most petulant shit imaginable.
The news communities are just terrible. I keep having to just block anything with "news" in it
That makes sense. News is a flaming shithole on reddit, and it's no surprise it'd be the same here.
You know, I would like to know this too. I sure as hell don't want to interact with those people.
Same here, I see people upset about it, but I haven't seen the offensive content at all
