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/

I'm never in favor of thought police deciding what I'm allowed to see. ACAB and all that.
Doubling down on the narcissistic abuse. It's a bold tactic, Cotton. Let's see if it works out for him.
What? What's narcissistic about that comment. Abuse -- maybe since that was antagonistic language and it just might be your first day on the internet.
It opens with a personal attack on the intelligence of a group of "stupid fuckers," and you don't see any narcissism? No wonder people fall for their games.
He started it!
Meh, you're both being awful. Now shake hands and make up. ;) ~Oh, and I know I'm a total hypocrite. It's what I'm good at.~
I calls them as I sees them. Seems to have worked out fine, for me at least.
It's not thought police, go host your own instance like I do if you care that much, fuck I'll help you set it up. Jesus you people are insane sometimes.
It is thought police. I can handle my own affairs, thank you. It sounds like you've been through enough.
Lmao thought police is fucking sending me a bill for breaking the copyright law!!
Controlling what you see online is also thought policing.
No, calling protective measures fascism/thought controlling/etc is in fact closer to thought controlling than that in itself. And besides you can easily bypass this ban, which wasn't done in secret but with a public announcement.
Just... grow up or come up with a real point.
Lol, do I need to be protected from the pirates? Am I going to be taken away by the dirty criminals? Is this decreed for my own good? What will you do if I continue to object?
IDK, feels pretty fascist.
Honestly, the projections of people like you would be hilarious if they weren't so tragic.
Lol
It's really sad living in a world where people don't realize that narcissism is a set of behaviors and not an insult. That's what we get for letting Republicans destroy education.
Nobody is controlling what you see online, you choose to use the instance you use.
This is LemmyWurld, if you don't like it, leave!
So switch to an instance that doesn't block them? That's the whole point of federation. I've already jumped instances once, and I'm probably going to a second time.
"This is Lemmy World, if you don't like it leave!"
See? Fascism.
I'd rather make you put me in a prison.
Nazism is when someone points out you have the option to move to another instance.
This has to be trolling lmao you can't be serious
Genius first appears as madness to ignorance.
Banger quote but that doesn't make you right
Except it's an original idea, and I am right. I've seen colonization enough times in my life to know how it works on every level. You don't know what you can't see, and you're trusting an authority to determine what's appropriate for you to know. Today it's piracy, tomorrow obscenity, the next day political enemies. There's only one way this goes. Authority is anti-intellectual because free thought runs counter to blind obedience.
Lemmy.world does not have authority over us. Just move to another instance.
It has authority over every user that has an account on its server. The more it chooses to wield that power, the more authoritarian it becomes. This isn't my only account, but abandoning a frontier to the political right isn't my style. I'll continue to do what I want to do until they use violence to remove me.
Technically true, although that's a voluntary submission to authority. Whatever though, good luck in your work.
