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/

Tldr I don't think this is an unpopular opinion.

Cake day?

I have no idea what day I first started using lemmy, or when I made an account. I'm okay not knowing.

As for "karma", do any instances track total karma, or just per-comment? Honestly I don't give a shit if my comments do well or not, I don't live for other people's amusement.

As for other people, I can't speak for them, but I haven't seen anyone crying for lemmy to be more like reddit.

Mostly I like the ways it's not like reddit, but I miss 'disable inbox replies'

Drop controversial comment

"Disable comment replies"

Sometimes you just have something to say but have high confidence that continuing the conversation beyond that isn't going to be productive. I like having the option to not be tempted.

Man, I'd love thrm to add that to lemmy, sometimes I live up to my username and would like to ignore the comments.

Cake day is the day / aniversary of registering on the site.
