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.

6. Defend your opinion

This is a bit of a mix of rules 4 and 5 to help foster higher quality posts. You are expected to defend your unpopular opinion in the post body. We don't expect a whole manifesto (please, no manifestos), but you should at least provide some details as to why you hold the position you do.

Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

Lemmy is just Reddit trying not to be Reddit (kbin.melroy.org)

I mean, the likeliness between the two is incredibly similar. I mean yeah sure, Spez has no power here in the Fediverse and Lemmy in general, but that doesn't take away how there are so many problematic users. The same problematic user type, that you'd find on something like Reddit.

I had this experience just recently, some asshole fashioned themselves to be a torpedo and just took a great dump on a post of mine. With intent to gaslight and incite arguments which they successfully did, while acting like an oblivious bastard when they knowingly are being the instigator in an otherwise civil discussion.

That is so something a Reddit user would do and I'm not convinced that Lemmy is any different. Lemmy is just simply a spinoff of Reddit, just a place where the rejects go to, to shit up on everyone at any given time.

And don't give me the whole "but but the internet is full of these kinds of people." argument. Redditors have a special kind of behavior that is distinctive from any average asshole you find on the internet.

Besides, who's to say I wouldn't like take time off to do other things, recharge incase any of you idiots want to say something else. There wouldn't be tiredness. By then this entire thread would be deleted and all of you social goons would masturbate over everything I've said as more "ammo".

This is barely a step up from cyber begging

You wish I would cyber beg to please your one-inch there that you indirectly admitted as to having.

You’ll get there one day if you keep trying

Not until you lose weight. Sounds to me you're secretly hoping. It'd probably be the only attention you get since you're probably fat and nobody has touched you in some odd years.

Night night buddy; you had a big day
