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/

Will Bluesky eventually enshittify? Probably.
Should people come to Mastodon instead? Of course.
Are there far bigger concerns at the moment? Absolutely.
Whatever Bluesky may or may not turn out to be, the important thing right now is to get people off of X, which we already know is a nazi controlled space. We don't sabotage that goal by being high and mighty and telling people they're not leaving to the right place.
One battle at a time.
I'd rather not create a system where people are constantly looking to create enemies. Like move on from Twitter and Facebook products by all means.
These systems aren't home, and they aren't our friends. You use them, and the individuals who would use and love Lemmy/Mastodon may not be the same people who enjoy bluesky(for now).
Don't create out groups when you don't need to, it just makes you look a little crazy to normies.
I get that! And it's not really about creating enemies. More of a digital utopia where we see what's the better option
Noble purpose, I feel it.
