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/
The issue I have is with the mods spite-banning users who expressed negative sentiments over it.
Did that happen?
Oof. Luckily wiser heads prevailed
No, an open record prevailed.
Yeah that was not a great look, and a large part of why I run my own instance. The professionalism of a sites admins has a large affect on the community as a whole. You want people at the top that don't have massive egos.
I left for greener pastures rather than complain.
Which is exactly how the fediverse is supposed to work.
Understandable tbh, I wouldn't want ppl like that arguing on the instance I host with my own money, time, and dedication.
🤣 I find it hilarious on these threads, no matter how petty, immature, misguided, overreaching, spiteful an action is, someone will post "understandable"
