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/
I see it plastered everywhere, every time I see a post about browsers or websites, people are hating on Chrome (and Chromium-based derivatives) and saying we need to support Firefox. I feel like I’m the only one who doesn’t care about the monopoly.
You only need to be loud when you're trying to change things.
Yeah not caring is why the world is shit. Nice job, kid.
Monopolies sure seem great in the short term. Is older folks have seen the full lifecycle and know what they turn into. See Comcast and AT&T. Duopolies are not any better, most of our food comes from 2ish companies. Early on they promise you everything, then they squeeze you for less and less.
