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/

For me it's mostly the opposite. I really like my things digital, not physical. I already live in the 4th country in my life. I can't move any physical things with me, but if it's digital it needs almost no space. I printed photos as photo books because I thought it's much easier to access. Now all of them are still in Sweden and my friend who has my stuff in her attic is asking me to get my stuff because she is moving and doesn't want to deal with my stuff. But because I'm in South Korea, I can't get them. It's way to expensive to move it. But I don't want to throw them away, but probably will need to.
I have all those pictures in digital form and do access them far more often than I'd think. I wrote scripts which show random old pictures on the TV and post a "today X years ago" picture to different family chats.
Nice
Otherwise…
Oh but I agree to your sentiment of subscriptions. the only subscription I have is a Server at Hetzner. I hosted my stuff from home before but with all the constant moving it's very complicated. So it's worth to me to pay the 20 EUR a month for hosting a VPS. Another subscription is access to the internet and rent. But other than that I don't have anything.
That is a great idea!
