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/

How oddly worded… I understand that this is “unpopularopinion”, but you say “despite them often being unattractive” as if it’s a fact they’re unattractive
Contextually this is a ... board? Sublemmy?... whatever, the context is obviously opinions, it completely makes sense that in an opinion ... zone... someone would state their opinion frankly or cavalierly.
"Community" is the accepted term... that's why the link to them is labeled 'Communities' and why it's /c/. (On kbin, they're Magazines, but kbin is the black sheep.)
Hey, my wool is white and fluffy, like a cloud!
Difference between starting an opinion and making a leading statement.
Manipulative people don't even realize they're doing it.
^ example of a leading statement, not an opinion.
