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/

You shouldn't be able to join a competitive pvp match or start a raid without a working microphone (lemmy.zip)

In games like Destiny or CS:GO for example, you should not even be allowed to start the activity without a working microphone. I dont care if you are antisocial, if that's the case, those activaties aren't for you and you shouldn't bring down your entire team because of that.

As an clarification, I'm more worried about Raids than PVP

These kind of "upvote what you disagree with" communities never work out. Never has on Reddit either.

Agree, just let the voting buttons work as intended. The onus of inversion is always on the interpretation not on the people casting the votes. The best posts on this community should be in the ones in the negative.

Best to sort these communities by controversial sometimes.

never

sorta untrue. one strategy i have seen work out well is to have an automated comment pinned that says “upvote this comment if you think this post is unpopular” and then moderation is done using that data while regular posts votes are pretty much left to be as they are. unsure if lemmy is capable of these things yet tho which is the roadblock here.

Good thing up votes and down votes on lemmy don't affect anything outside of the comment
