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/

MODERATORS
Would you feel that way if it was also the right-wingers writing their own inflammatory thought-stoppers here too? On Lemmy, these comments are for the vast majority coming from the left and are ideas 90% of the people here already more or less agree with.
No, because right-wingers are fucking wrong. That's a core belief of mine developed over decades of political observation, interaction and consideration. I do not see any benefit in constantly reassessing my views on whether this or that ethnic/sexual minority or impoverished class deserves dignity. I don't need to hear Nazi arguments any more. There is no value there. If you think this space is too left-leaning, there are plenty of other places you can get a more "bAlaNcEd" discussion.
It’s almost like what these catchy slogans represent is completely different and we don’t agree with right wing hatred of innocent people, so of course we wouldn’t be okay with it.
