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
If it was an app developer who precipitated it, so what? It had to be someone. That does not invalidate the choice of everyone else who participated in it. If you're going to hold an unpopular opinion, it should be a better one.
The mods forced their choice upon the users of Reddit.
Plus it was a stupid concept since to find an active subreddit person just had to go to /r/all
Taking a look at r/all one day, after many years of only seeing carefully-chosen subs that were actually good, was definitely one of the things that got me to finally quit.
I choose to quit for munch different reasons because moderators are dumb.
I got banned from /r/news simply because the British Broadcasting Corporation choose to change the title of the article...
