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/

If I see 3+ posts from the same username within the same minute, every one of the posts I see gets downvoted, and you and the instances get blocked. (lemmy.world)

I just leave my feed on All to see a bit of everything, but it drives me nuts when I see someone either post the same link in quick succession to 3+ instances at the same time, so they all end up next to each other on my feed, or you post several related posts (photography, articles etc) within a few minutes so your name and all your context blocks out a large chunk of the All feed, I downvote each post, then block you as a poster, and each of the instances as well. I understand cross posting and wanting to create content for the community is something you want to do to get the Lemmy ball rolling more, but spamming is just extremely annoying, regardless of the content.

I mean. You can make posts too. Don't block one guy that's carrying the content of lemmy. I love you @The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website

The legend himself! Thank you for what you do!

[–] Pr0v3n@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Of course not, because he creates good content for a wide array of communities, but I don’t see 6 of his posts in a row; he’s easily carrying this platform on his shoulders.

So what's your point? Thepicardmaneuver is exempt from your rule because although, he creates a bunch of content, you haven't seen several of his posts in a row? How about me? What if I decided to out out 3 posts in a row all of a sudden? You'll block me?

It’s almost like you didn’t comprehend what OP posted.
