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/

This is what I do. It's very satisfying to keep your "All" feed pruned. Easy to do when Lemmy's not that big.
Seriously? I've been working on my list since the api thing and I still get 3 foreign language communities a day. And now that I've blocked so much it's mostly just dreck.
I do the same. The foreign language ones aren’t so bad, it’s the anime ones, especially the creepy porny ones I hate. I block them constantly, but it’s like a creepy incel hydra. Every head I cut off three more spring up in their place.
Oh god yes! That Moe guy is one pervy dude! That is what will keep lemmy from being attractive to new comers.
Is it mostly just one guy? Because I could save a lot of time by just blocking that person.
Either you're hilarious or this is proof you've been blocking properly.
Sometimes I translate those foreign language memes with Google lens, it's kinda fun
I do the same. My favorite is ich_iel. I get the sense that many participants in that community are also using translation.
I think you block more than me lol I mostly just block the porn and anime, anything I wouldn't want to scroll past on my work computer. I leave the language ones alone because I like seeing how Lemmy is growing.
In my android client I simply switch off NSFW posts. That gets rid of most of these.
