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/

You shouldn't be able to join a competitive pvp match or start a raid without a working microphone (lemmy.zip)

In games like Destiny or CS:GO for example, you should not even be allowed to start the activity without a working microphone. I dont care if you are antisocial, if that's the case, those activaties aren't for you and you shouldn't bring down your entire team because of that.

As an clarification, I'm more worried about Raids than PVP

You will never (coms or otherwise) be able to control a pug as a single unit consistently. It's simply a reality of randoms. If you are looking for consistent play - forming a team helps considerably and is far more rewarding.

I will second this, one thing I've learned from being antisocial is this: If there is a good teammate, latch onto them. Build your own community if you need. Its a lot easier getting to know 1 to 3 people and playing with them (and moving on if you need) then playing every game as a roll of the dice with randoms.

I've moved on from quite a few communities, but generally it atleast gives me a few friends to play with in that game. Its worked very well with games like GTA, or Helldivers.
