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/

Atleast in Features. It will 100% become better if they added true decentralisation.

It is a corporation that is trying to squeeze money from you! They will take money in exchange for:

  1. Your personal information
  2. Prioritizing posts
  3. De-prioritizing posts
  4. Shadow banning users
  5. Forcing you to use an app so they can get even more personal info

And on and on and on... There is no reason to think they're better...

I said in features. In moral hell Mastodon is ∞ times better than BlueSky.

  1. Prioritizing posts
  2. De-prioritizing posts
  3. Shadow banning users
  4. Forcing you to use an app so they can get even more personal info

But they didn't did those thing yet. Don't know about future. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Specifically starting with this section:

Bluesky is fun, but won't it inevitably be ruined by horrible billionaires like the other social media websites I've used over the last 15 years?

That's why we need a true decentralisation on Bluesky.
