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/

If you join a server that blocks many other instances or have personally block other communities, users or instances, then you are part of the problem.
Is lemmy.world one that illegitimately blocks many communities?
I think they were mostly reasonable, with some complaints like how they banned piracy communities for a while and also banned/removed a community about magic mushrooms.
I disagreed with their federating with Threads, so I hopped over onto feddit.de because they are defederated from Threads and tankie instances. That's the beauty of the fediverse tho.
But you can view the de/federated instances lists for every instance and see if you agree with it. Different apps may have different routes/capability, so I'd recommend opening it in a browser and scrolling to the bottom of the page to find the link: "instances"
To make it easier for you, here's the instances list for lemmy.world.
that's the same list i just replied 7 minutes ago lol
I wish there was an anchor that just lets you skip to the bottom.
Ah, yeah I had the comments of this post open for longer than 6 minutes, so your comment wasn't visible to me.
Yes.
Looking at the list of blocked instances (scroll to the bottom), most of these are blocked for incredible NSFW or MAGA. There are extremely few I don't understand, such as kbin.cafe and some foreign-language instances that seem okay. Could you explain your rationale?
