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
There isn't a non political community here. Every mod of every community makes sure of it.
Mods sure seem to love the political posts in unrelated communities but God forbid you call a jerk a cuck.
Naw, they only like it when you are with them 100% on every detail of their extremes.
Lemmy is a group of closed in group thinking communities and if you don't fit in they will remind you of it.
that it do
Not unpopular. Lemmy politics is a garbage dump, the entire platform was created as a safe haven for commies and we're still reeling from it, with many users (especially from .ml) sharing biased news and "memes" that are nothing but propaganda and DAE AMERICA BAD????
Having political takes isn't necessarily a bad thing but when your entire personality is "capitalism is bad" then you're an insufferable twat ruining the platform for everybody else
But what if America good? Harris! - lemm .ee / world

Man that resonates...
What the hell is left to browse after that?
Lemmy is small enough as it is.
I don't disagree as such but, eh.
I like comics, movies and the piracy communities.... But even then like... Super quiet in there.
The obvious ones like cats, linux, and star trek but also meta-posts like these, comics, non-political memes, greentext, bikes, general technology. There are collapsniks and conservatives have been trying to settle recently. There's a wide variety of niche content but they are small enough that for every 10 visitors you need someone to post something. There's a lot here, it's small compared to extremely large sites but is still an active message board.
You forgot LOTR and German memes!!!
No, Lemmy is better when you block all gaming, Linux, and anime
Edit: guess it's an unpopular opinion, yay!
Sir this is a Wendy's
Leaving you with politics and porn? Hmmm...
Oh I forgot I already took out the porn
I still have
Cats, superb owls, various handicrafts, and of course all the political doom I can eat
Cut off one head, two more grow in it's place
Even if you want that stuff, you get a much better perspective in World News and News communities.
Politics and PoliticalMemes is just a bunch of redditors who aren't used to being in a non echo chamber social media platform.
Dnc shills
Anything is better when all you engage with is mindless entertainment
I wish Lemmy was more entertaining, and not just a million Linux articles wearing a trenchcoat
Came to say this. Yeah. Echo chambers feel good, but they are trash-tier entertainment, like drugs.
I block the antisemites, it narrows things down quite a bit
Wdym by antisemites? People who just hate Jews and discriminate towards them or people who are against Israel. Cause these are two different things
Filtering out words in posts has worked well for me. I can still get news/politics in small doses without 90% of the noise
For me, there's so many undesired communities and political communities that it's easier to just pick the communities that I like subscribe to them instead of blocking everything else. There's too much to block
That's what I was thinking.. that's literally what subscribe is for...
i kinda like the fire hose
I do check the all feed for stuff i like from time to time
