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/

Ok. I’m cranky because my kid missed the bus today and work was stressful and it just reminds me how the dude who made world is also an unremarkable middle aged white man like myself. Someone has to be a grownup and pay the bills, that’s all, and if you are losing your mind over world blocking piracy then that someone most likely isn’t you.
I thought you were going to go religious on us for a second there.
Why are you so mad that user are mad? These people made a new home (free of corporate oversight (fuck spez)) and now corporate bs is leaking in and we are pissed. Makes sense to me. Seeing the mods mock users asking questions is asinine. So I switched instances, which was mildly inconvenient.
Nobody gives a fuck about you kiddo missing the bus mate. Maybe keep it in your lane. Don't post if your home life is so rocky that you sound like a chud.
Did you ever really believe everything were saying on here wasn't already monitored by corps? If the threat of being sued is corporate BS then this place has been infiltrated since day 1.
Corporate bs lol that is deluded. My whole point is that the decision was made by regular people who make zero money from this for practical reasons that are reasonable. Letting off steam just because, don’t mean to make you feel attacked but fuck you too guy. There was no need to say that.
When the reason for defederating is because "we might get sued" it might be important to ask who is doing the suing.
Hint: it's a corporation.
Edit: sorry if I hurt your feelings.
I gotcha I guess I misunderstood what you meant.
Oh my god, nobody cares about that outside your home.
Cool
I'm never in favor of thought police deciding what I'm allowed to see. ACAB and all that.
Doubling down on the narcissistic abuse. It's a bold tactic, Cotton. Let's see if it works out for him.
What? What's narcissistic about that comment. Abuse -- maybe since that was antagonistic language and it just might be your first day on the internet.
It opens with a personal attack on the intelligence of a group of "stupid fuckers," and you don't see any narcissism? No wonder people fall for their games.
He started it!
Meh, you're both being awful. Now shake hands and make up. ;) ~Oh, and I know I'm a total hypocrite. It's what I'm good at.~
I calls them as I sees them. Seems to have worked out fine, for me at least.
It's not thought police, go host your own instance like I do if you care that much, fuck I'll help you set it up. Jesus you people are insane sometimes.
It is thought police. I can handle my own affairs, thank you. It sounds like you've been through enough.
Lmao thought police is fucking sending me a bill for breaking the copyright law!!
Controlling what you see online is also thought policing.
No, calling protective measures fascism/thought controlling/etc is in fact closer to thought controlling than that in itself. And besides you can easily bypass this ban, which wasn't done in secret but with a public announcement.
Just... grow up or come up with a real point.
Lol, do I need to be protected from the pirates? Am I going to be taken away by the dirty criminals? Is this decreed for my own good? What will you do if I continue to object?
IDK, feels pretty fascist.
Honestly, the projections of people like you would be hilarious if they weren't so tragic.
Lol
It's really sad living in a world where people don't realize that narcissism is a set of behaviors and not an insult. That's what we get for letting Republicans destroy education.
Nobody is controlling what you see online, you choose to use the instance you use.
This is LemmyWurld, if you don't like it, leave!
So switch to an instance that doesn't block them? That's the whole point of federation. I've already jumped instances once, and I'm probably going to a second time.
"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.
