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/

I seriously cannot have any degree of nuanced conversation here.

Like I get it, we all know capitalism is bad, but it feels like every time I or anyone go towards discussing the steps that need to be taken to address current looming problems in the short term, someone has to jump in and shut it down with "capitalism bad >:[ " and tear down any idea presented because its not complete and total destruction of the current economic model.

The result just feels like an echo chamber where no actual solutions get presented other than someone posting whole ass dissertations on their 33-step (where 30/33 steps are about as vague as "we'll just handle it") plan to fully convert the world to an anarchist commune.

Edit: I still vastly prefer Lemmy and the fediverse and a whole, my complaint here is that many of you are TOO INTENSE. You blow up small scale discussion.

I dunno man, I didn't come here looking to contribute to or find a plan to fix the world. I came here to doom scroll and look at memes.

[–] Xer0@lemmy.ml 10 points 9 months ago (3 children)

The memes here are fucking terrible. Like worse than Instagram tier shit.

[–] Bobmighty@lemmy.world 15 points 9 months ago

I've poked around at the different sites. I see the same damn memes everywhere.

196 has most of the good ones in my experience

[–] Cryophilia@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months ago (2 children)

But also the worst of the bad ones.

[–] june@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

Those are the best ones

[–] mounderfod@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 9 months ago

It's a mixed bag for sure

[–] HerbalGamer@sh.itjust.works 2 points 9 months ago

idk a lot of them get reposted to instagram though

[–] ShepherdPie@midwest.social 3 points 9 months ago

Yeah that was my line of thinking. Even if someone did come up with a solution to all the world's problems, it's not like it's going to lead to anything.
