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/

The ALL timeline is supposed to be weird / have content you don't like (yiffit.net)

I don't think instance admin should mute or block communities just because people don't like that some content shows up on their ALL timeline.

Now, there is a case to be made about muting some content, but in general the all timeline is supposed to be wild and untamed.

I suppose it should introduce you to things you aren't already subscribed to but I'm not going to cry over instances blocking things that are widely considered undesirable on that instance. I'm happy enough blocking things I know I don't like manually for now. For others: go to e.g. https://kbin.social/d/yiffit.net, open sidebar and click the block symbol - change the domain at the end to block others.
