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/

Small communities that are similar should think about mushing together for activity. Example: Hiking, Backpacking, Thru Hiking. It will generate more Activity and then branch out. We have too many niche pages that won't be active.

@brome ah, I've been wanting to try out Firefish!

I was never a twitter person so the engagement with Mastodon has been really interesting for me, and an unexpected perk. But I guess I've been focused on me seeing their content rather than vice versa.

@livus
accs on misskey and its cutlery set (firefish, foundkey, iceshrimp and sharkey being the most important among them) are mostly unaware of what is happening on the threadiverse

mostly using a hajkey acc myself, i agree with @brome - although i tend to use kbin more frequently now, as kbin development regained steam

if sharkey were able to federate better with both kbin and lemmy, this would be a giant leap @Amelia @Marie

@testing thanks, good to know. Sharkey wasn't really on my radar at all so it's interesting that it's the one closest to federating with us.

@livus
compared to other *keys, sharkey development is rapid atm, but so far, @Amelia and @Marie have not put federation issues with kbin and lemmy into focus - this is why i tagged them
