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)
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.
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/
To be clear, some really great community members have these names, but they're everywhere now. And with the right characters you can create some really annoying overlaps: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3790
Enough of them floating around now that I'll probably do a PR for my favorite client to filter them out.
You leave my display name alone.
Hah, as I've said in other replies, your contributions greatly outweigh my annoyance. But it's still annoying (to me) 😉
Luckily I can contribute to my client to add a feature to hide display names, so I'll just do that.
Death. I'm sorry but its the only way to be sure.
Just a heads-up, some folks (and instances) add pronouns as part of the display name. I'm not saying you shouldn't be able to disable display names, but it's a relevant caveat that would pop up later, so I just wanted to make sure you know now.
My god, 8000 comments? How long have you been here?
Since 6am this morning.
Do you suffer from severe constipation?
IT TOOK THEM THREE DAYS TO MAKE THAT POOP
Since July 1st, 2023, according to his profile. That's almost 41 comments a day!
I'm starting to see you everywhere. Your username is exactly why.
What about me?
