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/

Video games are another big one.
I always favor [email protected] rather than [email protected], but I know some people think the opposite.
At the moment, it's mostly a debate between people wanting to centralize content on LW, and people who prefer it on another well-known instance.
I'm guilty of that with [email protected] and [email protected].
But to be fair, games and movies and general interest, all the communities seem to be doing well, even if split.
As much as I hate the bot content on principle, communities that either repost reddit or scrape some other aggregator at least have enough content for a community to begin to form around it. There just aren't enough posters anywhere.
I'm just trying to find some subs for my favorite games that have more than 2 post from 2 months ago.
