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/
"Frankly, sorry, this perspective of "anything I haven't subbed I obviously don't like" is pretty fuckin stupid. Don't feel bad though, you aren't alone thinking it."
Likewise, I think it's really stupid to be looking at content you have zero interest in. And likewise, don't feel bad though, you aren't alone.
Thanks for the belittling tone of your statement there 😉. You just have a different point of view.
How can you waste so much time looking at content that you have zero interest in? Don't you have stuff to actually do in life, or are you one of these people that get bored because you've got nothing to do?
I'm a person that never gets bored. I always have something I want to do. I don't have time to be doing things that aren't necessary to survive and things I don't enjoy.
I know who I am, and what I like. My interests are quite broad and I know what I don't want to see. I prefer to white list my interests on Lemmy than black list the things I have zero interest in. Even thought my interests are quite broad, white listing is significantly shorter. In an infinite number of interests, my 1000 interests are significantly shorter than infinity-1000.
Edit: When I gain a new interest, which is usually a sub interest of another interest I have then I'll look for the community on Lemmy/Reddit/other forums.
When I first started Reddit many years ago I learnt that all is usually full of rage bait content. I avoid rage bait as much as possible. I guestimate that all on Lemmy is exactly the same since most Lemmy users were/are Reddit users.
Live your best life yo, and have fun doing you. It would be cool to be young and know everything again.
You don't engage with new communities, neat. I like to keep an eye open, because out of infinity - 1000, there are still infinite communities I MIGHT like. Or even infinite - 2000 I don't like too. Look at all the math I can do. Here's an emoji 😍. Shut up, dude. Tell all your friends how well you know yourself, your perspective is still fucking stupid.
Belittled because, here on the net, you are little. Just like everyone else.
Why are you so angry? Do you want to talk about it?
