What media sources have you outgrown, when, and why? by Mojo in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

[-] Mojo@lemmy.world 9 points 8 months ago

Gaming consoles for me.

When the PS4 came out, I couldn't justify spending that much for a device that doesn't have the amount of utility as a PC, nor are the games retro compatible. I'm a PC gaming convert.

I think there should be a consensus on how people should vote on posts here, and that consensus should be made into a rule that gets put in the about section of this community and/or a pinned post by Mojo in c/unpopularopinion@lemmy.world

I'm wondering if you read my post fully. My post is specifically relating to this community, not Lemmy as a whole. And I said you should downvote what you agree with in this community. I'm not what your argument is. Are you arguing against voting in gerenal?

Voting is an efficient way of gaging what people think about an opinion. People have finite time and energy. Not everyone who comes across an opinion should have say anything or justify their votes. There will always be some who comment, but expecting it from everyone seems unreasonable. I'm on lemmy a lot but I never post/comment, just read and vote. Posting/commenting requires a lot of energy from me.

Glad you changed your mind on the autism thing and that it took a few nice people to help you with that.

Edit: slight grammar fix

I'm not sure if this is unpopular per se, but yeah, I don't think people on here are voting in a consistent way and that makes it confusing to know which posts are actually unpopular opinions.

I have seen people say something like "nice unpopular opinion, take my upvote", but the votes don't reflect that sentiment when a truly unpopular opinion is posted and it's heavily downvoted. Also, in reverse, posts that appear to be agreed-upon popular opinions are massively upvoted.

I think a good number of people on here downvote opinions they don't agree with, which is a reflex I can empathize with, but doing that might discourage people to post here. So, I think people should upvoting posts you don't agree with.

And I think that it should be posted clearly for people to read and refer to in the about section of the community. I think maybe it should be a pinned post too (at least for a little while) because I don't think everyone reads the about sections.

TL;DR — For the sake of clarity, there should be a posted rule that basically states: upvotes mean you don't agree with the opinion and downvotes mean you agree. So, if you agree with this post please downvote it.
