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/

"This is Lemmy World, if you don't like it leave!"
See? Fascism.
I'd rather make you put me in a prison.
Nazism is when someone points out you have the option to move to another instance.
This has to be trolling lmao you can't be serious
Genius first appears as madness to ignorance.
Banger quote but that doesn't make you right
Except it's an original idea, and I am right. I've seen colonization enough times in my life to know how it works on every level. You don't know what you can't see, and you're trusting an authority to determine what's appropriate for you to know. Today it's piracy, tomorrow obscenity, the next day political enemies. There's only one way this goes. Authority is anti-intellectual because free thought runs counter to blind obedience.
Lemmy.world does not have authority over us. Just move to another instance.
It has authority over every user that has an account on its server. The more it chooses to wield that power, the more authoritarian it becomes. This isn't my only account, but abandoning a frontier to the political right isn't my style. I'll continue to do what I want to do until they use violence to remove me.
Technically true, although that's a voluntary submission to authority. Whatever though, good luck in your work.
