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/

They get unnecessarily VIOLENTLY angry if you address how other political issues are also important.

They are rabid, and do not have 'chill' mode. It's impossible talking to them at all. They also force their beliefs about using public transportation on everyone when they don't take into account that not everyone lives in a city.

Also, they fail to acknowledge that public transportation is not safe.

Listen, I get that climate change is a thing. But it's not THEE ultimate and almighty issue.

Have you ever been on a road trip with the family, and you've been stuck in traffic for a while, and you start to get low on gas, but the next station is closed, and you aren't sure if you'll make it to the next gas station, so your trying to drive in a way that conserves fuel, but the traffic is barely moving? And then two people in the back start arguing over the song on the radio, and they demand you change the station? This is like that, except if you run out of gas, everyone on earth will die. Everyone you care about will suffer and die. All of the children everywhere, whether they starve or freeze or drown or burn, their lives will all be cut painfully short, all because you ran out of gas.

And you're in the back whining about the stereo.
