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/

The ability for Fediverse apps to interact with each other is the least interesting/useful feature of the Fediverse. (self.unpopularopinion)

I really couldn't care less if I can follow a Lemmy community with my Mastodon account or comment on a PeerTube video with my Lemmy account.

Don't get me wrong, it's neat and a cool achievement of the ActivityPub protocol, but that's like advertising that your awesome new solar-powered, self-driving, flying car also has power windows. I'm glad it's there, but there are way better things to talk about, especially when trying to convince a newcomer to jump on board.

Only because it's mostly broken. In a world where these features are fully functional, this is absolutely a killer feature. Lemmy has particularly bad support among the broader fediverse and that's certainly impacting how much of it you see.
