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/

Ensuring users can't only leave negative feedback has nothing to do with sexual harassment. I can see the contrived connection you made after reading the explanation but it was not nearly strong enough to leave that comment without context. Even with context it's merely an inappropriate connection.

It's creepy as fuck for mods to chase people around demanding a mood. Vote how you see fit

That's why I made a connection to otherwise creepy behavior

Edit also meh, I had it in quotes, which in casual usage makes clear I'm referencing someone else. We don't quote any normal sentences

You think humans are counting the numbers on paper? You write code for that. And what I'm saying is that there is no value in votes from those that see fit to predominantly downvote. This isn't a matter of freedom, the platform isn't aspiring to be a government.

I agree that mods run the show, no question.

I'm just starting my opinion its creepy. I downvote posts on conservative subs because they are shit, and am happy with that functionally
