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/

No, I'm not. I'm assuming that you're using downvotes for what they are. A representation of a communities likes or dislikes of specific content and their agreement with it. The fact that you call it "meaningless" really demonstrates a lot about you and this whole echo chamber thing you keep complaining about. You don't want an echo chamber where everyones going to agree with you, but you ignore everything that you don't agree with? Riiiiiiight.
Your entire complaint has been that Lemmy is an echo chamber but now you admit that you aren't making comments or making posts about your views and topics that you feel strongly about. Now you say that "it's the comments I haven't made." So then you are the problem you're complaining about. You aren't bothering to put any effort in to demonstrate your views and then are shrugging and saying that it's an echo chamber. Clearly you aren't worried about downvotes because you just said they're worthless and you don't care, so that isn't the reason why you aren't putting in any effort or even trying. And you clearly have no issue in making comments because you do that frequently.
Thanks to that, the only possible conclusion one can reach now is that you don't care about it being "an echo chamber". You're just a troll. We've ruled out it being afraid of downvotes and you not wanting to put in effort. There isn't any other possible conclusion to reach when you keep painting yourself into the corner.
Have fun with that.
This is some next level mental gymnastics. Connect dots in whatever convincing fashion you want in lieu of attempting to understand someone's viewpoint.
Said the troll.
