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/

You leave my display name alone.
Hah, as I've said in other replies, your contributions greatly outweigh my annoyance. But it's still annoying (to me) 😉
Luckily I can contribute to my client to add a feature to hide display names, so I'll just do that.
What about me? I'm just a teddy bear
Death. I'm sorry but its the only way to be sure.
Just a heads-up, some folks (and instances) add pronouns as part of the display name. I'm not saying you shouldn't be able to disable display names, but it's a relevant caveat that would pop up later, so I just wanted to make sure you know now.
I'm starting to see you everywhere. Your username is exactly why.
What about me?
My god, 8000 comments? How long have you been here?
Since July 1st, 2023, according to his profile. That's almost 41 comments a day!
Since 6am this morning.
Do you suffer from severe constipation?
