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.
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/

Lemmy is moderated by several power mods just as Reddit was, and they are male. There is no proper space for women on Lemmy.
yeah im already starting to get that feeling, but are they disproportionaly being banned, like what is actually happening?
We just lurk and look at memes and then go socialize elsewhere. It's not worth the emotional energy to engage with so many males on this platform.
I used to participate in Lemmy after I left Reddit, but migrated to another place. This is one of the rare times I am actually choosing to comment on Lemmy.
Thank you for sharing
is it that bad? is there something that can be done about it?
Report harassing comments. Mods remove harassing comments. Each user can block individuals who are trolls - if they don't get engagements (positive or negative), their comments won't float up the feed and they won't be encouraged to continue being a dick. Validate women's experiences even if it isn't your own personal experience. Realize that when you are engaging with women about their personal experiences, it's not the same as arguing over a topic in tech.
Do you want the moderators to pin your comments on every post and make them glitter? What are they supposed to do? Intrude your social life so you can spend more time on lemmy?
Bye Felicia.
Wdym bye. I apologise for being aggressive. I was not in a good mood then.
