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/

Using /s to indicate sarcasm is cowardly (lemmy.sdf.org)

Just commit, no matter the response. Adding /s is akin to explaining a joke after you tell it. If someone doesn't understand or pick up on the sarcasm, it's not your responsibility to spell it out for them. You add /s because you don't want to be held accountable.

A totally reasonable take.

Is this sarcasm? I can't tell.

I feel that everyone on the internet just gets me. The world would be such a better place if everyone were as kind and gentle as they are surfin' the tubes and sharing good vibes like they do on 4chan.

Also, OP likes to rape oxen. Just throwing that out there. I don't judge though.
