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 sublinks mess makes me want to leave Lemmy (lemmy.ml)

Already using a .ml account, and have seen divisive toxic negativity that has me ready to pack it up and delete it all. Everyone that I enjoyed interacting with is missing in post comments already. It feels dead, like the death blow to what was already struggling. I guess this is my litmus test post, despite knowing the probable toxic ire it will draw. I'm just 200 posts and 1600 comments here.

Sounds like a compatible drop-in replacement.

Completely healthy and reasonable, just like there are multiple xmpp servers, multiple mail transport agents or multiple matrix homeserver implementations.
