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/

MODERATORS
It's so bad...... everything is so divisive in these modern times.
I've left every other place ...this was my last ditch effort to stay connected online....it's even worse here ...just leaning harder to one side..
when free speech proponents stifle free speech, the world becomes more regressive.
I can't even handle my beta forums anymore.....
This world is maddening
Especially when mods with agendas remove opinions or beliefs that differ from their own.....people are blind to the truth.
Yep.
Oh, another one of those ""free speech"" people...
What does this mean? Please clearly explain.
It's just that every time "Free Speech" is invoked lately, is by someone wondering why their positions "when ni**ers were property everything was simpler", "maybe Hitler wasn't that bad" "why can't we shoot who disagrees with us" get backlash, removed and banned.
This is a terrible response. As someone whom served and defended my own personal rights to free speech, this platform is ridiculously one sided.
Also, jumping on someone and denying their voice, is deplorable and ironic. This is the exact behavior that created this digital world ..it's cool though because non of your opinions matter to me anyway.
